From polki to solitaire: Tolly divas talk wedding jewellery goals

Akshaya Tritiya holds a special place in our hearts, including some of Tollywood’s most loved actresses. This day is believed to bring lasting wealth and good fortune, and for these stars, gold isn’t just a precious metal, it’s a legacy, a celebration of self, and a secure investment. Calcutta Times caught up with a few leading ladies from the Bengali film industry to find out the one dream jewellery piece they’ve set their hearts on, whether for their wedding day or simply to cherish forever.

For her big day, Koushani has been dreaming of indulging in a grand, layered Kundan Jadau Polki set. “I dream of a stunning ensemble complete with earrings, a statement necklace, elegant bangles, and a matching finger ring,” says the Bohurupi actor.
Even if it costs a fortune, jadau kundan jewellery is more than just an adornment to Koushani Mukherjee. “It’s heritage and artistry,” she says.


Idhika has always been mesmerised by the allure of diamonds. She says, “Whether I walk down the aisle or not, she wishes to gift herself an uncut diamond ring.”

The ring will be a symbol of self-love for Idhika Paul. She says, “I remember Sushmita Sen’s diamond ring. It was from that moment that I knew I’d one day gift myself a stunning uncut diamond.”


Be it my wedding or any special occasion, I dream of gifting myself a diamond jhumka with a matching necklace. Unlike traditional gold or kundan, diamond jhumkas have a timeless elegance that truly stands out.

Oindrila Sen’s vision of her D-day jewellery is versatile – perfect for both eastern and western outfits. “I once saw a stunning pair of diamond jhumkas in a Dubai mall, and they’ve lived on my wishlist ever since,” she says.


The one for the big day:Today, on this auspicious day, my heart is full as my fiancé, Debmalyo Chakraborty, and I will be buying a solitaire ring. It has been a long-cherished dream that he’s making come true. Another favourite of mine is a traditional gold projapoti tayra-tikli with layered chains and intricate detailing, studded with precious stones.

“The projapoti tikli has always been on my wishlist, and I plan to gift it to myself for our wedding day – a meaningful treasure I’ll wear with pride and love as I step into this new chapter of my life next January if everything goes well,” says Madhumita Sarcar.
