Antique & Kempu Stone Jewellery Sets
Bring a vintage, heritage feel to your look with my collection of antique-finish temple sets, featuring intricate kempu stones and traditional motifs for a timeless South Indian bridal aesthetic.
This look is inspired by the timeless paintings of Raja Ravi Varma. The antique necklace with a large central pendant, paired with matching jhumkas, vanki, and maang tikka, creates a truly artistic and classic bridal style.

About this collection
Photos don't always capture the true matt finish of these antique pieces. I highly recommend visiting my Bangalore studio to try on the sets before you finalize your booking. This way, we can test the weight, check how the maang tikka sits against your hairline, and ensure the entire set matches your bridal saree perfectly for the big day.
When you choose antique gold and kempu stone jewellery, you are opting for a style that connects directly to South Indian heritage. My collection is built for brides who want that classic, regal look—complete with dull gold finishes, temple motifs like Goddess Lakshmi or peacocks, and the vibrant red and green of kempu stones. These sets are crafted to look authentic under stage lighting and in photography, giving you the weight and feel of traditional jewellery without the actual investment.
What you get in a bridal set
Every rental package is designed to be complete so you aren't scrambling for extra pieces. Most sets include:
- The core: A heavy long haaram and a statement choker to frame your face.
- The finish: A matching vaddanam (hip belt), jhumkas, maang tikka, and vanki (armlet) to tie the entire look together.
- The comfort: All pieces come with adjustable dori or hooks, and I ensure all posts are sanitized with fresh push-backs before you pick them up.
Why opt for these sets?
This style works best for the muhurtham or traditional wedding ceremonies. The combination of red kempu stones and antique gold pairs beautifully with traditional silk sarees in mustard, deep red, or green. Because I curate these pieces myself, I make sure the plating quality is consistent and the stone setting is secure, so you can enjoy your day without worrying about a missing stone or a loose clasp. If you are in Bangalore, please reach out to schedule a trial. It is the best way to see the jewellery in person and feel the quality before your function.
