Jewellery brand SHREE Jewellers has shared details of the custom-made gold jewellery created for actress Rashmika Mandanna's wedding to actor Vijay Deverakonda, saying the entire design process took around 10 months. Rashmika and Vijay tied the knot in Udaipur on February 26, 2026. While their wedding photos drew widespread attention online, the bride's elaborate gold jewellery also became a major talking point. In an interview with NDTV, SHREE Jewellers said the project involved months of planning, design discussions, customisation, production and fitting sessions before the final look was completed. Rashmika's bridal jewellery featured 11 handcrafted gold pieces, including a layered choker, traditional harams, statement jhumkas, a jada billa (hair ornament), champasaralu, hathphool, mathapatti, nose pin, bangles, bajuband, waist belt and anklets. According to the jeweller, the collection was inspired by the grandeur of South Indian architecture. The bridal look was designed to reflect the image of a goddess, while Vijay's jewellery was created to give him the appearance of a royal king. Among the standout pieces was a layered Lakshmi rani haar featuring multiple strands, four paisley-shaped pendants and a Goddess Lakshmi motif at the centre. Rashmika also wore a gold pendant choker decorated with gold pearls and a large central pendant, along with intricately designed peacock jhumkas featuring twin peacock motifs. Another highlight was an ornate gold jada hair accessory with sculpted gold work and cascading chains designed to complement her hairstyle. Sharing images of the bridal jewellery on Instagram, SHREE Jewellers said each piece reflected tradition and craftsmanship, describing the collection as a tribute to heritage. The jeweller also designed Vijay Deverakonda's wedding jewellery, which featured motifs of elephants and tigers symbolising wisdom and strength, along with floral patterns and traditional Nakshi engraving. His jewellery included gold ear studs, a short necklace, a long necklace, a wrist cuff, an arm cuff, ankle kadas and a ring worn on his little finger. Source: NDTV
