Oxidised silver jewellery has graduated from everyday college or office-wear to a wedding-wear must-have. Whether it’s a vibrant mehendi or a regal reception, this timeless metal adds personality, drama and effortless charm to any celebration look. So, if you’re wondering how to make it wedding-worthy, Bollywood’s style queens have already done the homework for you.
For the mehendi, think playful, vibrant and slightly whimsical, just like Janhvi Kapoor’s boho-inspired look. A chunky oxidised silver necklace enhanced with multi-coloured stones instantly adds a festive pop. Pair it with a breezy lehenga or printed ethnic set and you’ve got a fun mehendi look.
Receptions demand polish and oxidised silver can look quite refined when styled right. Mouni Roy’s silver necklace paired with a matching cuff and maangtika proves that oxidised pieces can look as formal as diamonds.
Janhvi’s long oxidised earrings complement busy prints beautifully, while Sonam Kapoor’s stunning silver choker is the perfect example of understated yet impactful glamour. These pieces balance the richness of evening outfits without overpowering them.

When the lights go low and the dance floor heats up, your jewellery should match the energy. Kareena Kapoor Khan and Hina Khan have perfected this; layered oxidised necklaces, bold earrings and intricate detailing create that dramatic sangeet vibe. These heavier sets work brilliantly with tradtional lehengas, dark hues and metallic fabrics, giving you the ornate finish that evening functions demand.
If you want a modern, glam twist, take inspiration from Ananya Panday, who pairs mirror-work lehengas with oxidised silver. The combination is bold, youthful and surprisingly cohesive. The reflective textures blend beautifully with silver’s antique sheen, creating the perfect for sangeets and cocktail nights.
For guests attending the pheras or a morning wedding ceremony, softer tones work best. Kriti Sanon’s ivory outfit teamed with oxidised jewellery shows just how elegant this metal can look with minimal, neutral palettes. A statement neckpiece or well-designed choker adds depth without clashing with the calmness of traditional rituals.
For intimate daytime functions; brunches, poojas or family gatherings, Alia Bhatt’s style is a masterclass in subtle glamour. Flowy sarees paired with oxidised jhumkas give a soft, breezy look that’s comfortable yet festive.
