A wedding is a grand affair, and who doesn’t want to look their best on a big fat Indian wedding? But that doesn’t mean that you need to spend half your savings on jewellery for the occasion. And if you’re shopping for a destination wedding, you don’t want to deal with the hassle of securing your jewels and worry about losing them instead of having fun. There are so many options available in designer jewellery that is not made with precious stones or metals, so it doesn’t cost as much but looks as good as real jewellery.

To avoid any confusion, and to give you a clear idea of what will look good with your outfit, we put together a collection of designer jewellery alternatives to real jewellery. These pieces will make you stand out at all the functions, even without that heavy, chunky, real jewellery.
