Bridal gold sets in the Kolkata trade
A Bengali bridal set is bought as a whole: the sitahaar or long necklace, the choker, the bala and chur for the wrists, the tikli for the forehead, the nath and the earrings, almost always in 22-carat gold. Families begin ordering months before the wedding season, and many still go to the jeweller the family has used for two or three generations.
The set is usually made to order from the shop's own designs, with the total weight fixed by the budget and the pieces balanced around it. The making is done in the shop's workshop or by karigars in the lanes behind Bowbazar, and a full set takes a few weeks.
In Kolkata the same jeweller generally makes and sells the whole range — necklaces, earrings, bangles and bridal sets — so this site lists the city's gold jewellers once, area by area, rather than splitting them by item. They are all below; each name opens its own page.
