Kangans (bangles) are pieces of jewellery that a mother passes on to her daughter or daughter-in-law. It adds a greater appeal to the bridal attire and definitely increases the sentimental value.

It is an incredibly sweet gesture for you to use your mother’s sindoor dani for the wedding day. In some families, it is a generations-old tradition for the same sindoor dani to pass from mother to daughter.

Bridal Dupatta

You as the bride can always make use of certain elements from your mother’s bridal ensemble. For example, your mother’s embellished bridal dupatta. Isha Ambani paired her mother’s saree (panetar) as a dupatta with her Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla bridal lehenga.

Payals

If not a piece of jewellery, how about the jewellery chest? It is a great item to take along while starting out a new chapter in your life. You can always return the treasure chest if and when you invest in one of  your own.
