Mangalsutra Ring Designs for the Modern Bride

In this article, I share with you some of the latest mangalsutra ring designs. These are great for daily wear pieces, a perfect blend of tradition and modern elements.

If you’re not familiar with of the mangalsutra, below is a brief background.

Mangalsutra is an Indian wedding chain or necklace with black beads. It is a symbol of their marriage. There is a cultural belief that a mangalsutra protects the couple from the “evil eye”.

These mangalsutra necklaces are mostly made with gold, diamond, and traditional black beads. Many women love to wear a mangalsutra on a daily basis but some women seldom wear this piece of jewelry. 

One of the reasons why mangalsutra is not worn regularly is due to our changing lifestyles and outfits.

Mangalsutra was designed to be worn on traditional sarees and salwar suits. Today women no longer just wear traditional clothes daily. Instead, they are found wearing western outfits such as jeans and dresses.

Women in the twenty-first century take a minimalistic approach when it comes to their jewelry. They would wear a nice pair of earrings or a neckpiece, instead of wearing many jewels at once, which ends up looking overdone.

To encourage and enable women to wear their mangalsutra, my mission is to design modern mangalsutras, mangalsutra rings, and mangalsutra bracelets. Women should be able to choose how they would like to wear her mangalsutra.  

Before we get into the mangalsutra ring designs, you should ask yourself these three questions.

Decide if you’ll wear your mangalsutra ring daily or occasionally

The very first thing you need to understand is your mangalsutra use. Will you be wearing it on a daily basis or is this for occasional wear at weddings, family gatherings, festivals or other special occasions?

Depending on your use, the design can be simple or elaborate to match your purpose. In other words, understanding usage will dictate the design.

For example, if you want to wear this daily and if you have kids, you would like something that does not entangle in clothes or hurt your children. The setting of the diamonds and black beads is crucial in this case.

But if you are looking for a mangalsutra ring for special occasions you can opt for a more elaborate. A statement ring would be an ideal choice. Choose a style that compliments your personality. For special occasions, I would recommend trying a ring style that you have not experienced before because that is what makes jewelry fun.

Choose the gold color for your mangalsutra ring

When it comes to fine jewelry, you are not limited to yellow gold or white gold.

You can have your mangalsutra ring in rose gold or even dual-tone.  When you select a dual-tone, you can choose more than one metal color in a ring, if the design allows for it.

For example, if you decide to have white gold and yellow gold in a ring, it becomes more versatile and you can pair it with either white gold or yellow gold jewelry. It also adds extra sparkle and interest in the ring.

Think about mangalsutra ring design style  

When you think of a mangalsutra ring, you will have several design styles to consider. Rajwadi, Minimalistic, Art Deco, Victorian, Modern-retro, Ornate are some of the most prominent design styles for you to consider.

Now that you’ve got the fundamentals of mangalsutra ring nailed down, you are ready to explore my favorite mangalsutra ring designs for you to consider for your next purchase.
