The ornate gold pieces worn by the newlyweds were meticulously crafted over 10 months by Hyderabad-based SHREE Jewellers, using several kilograms of gold and drawing inspiration from South Indian architectural grandeur.

The 10-Month Creation Journey
The entire process took nearly 10 months, spanning from conceptualizing designs and engaging in multiple discussions to bespoke customization, production, trials, and finally bringing the complete ceremonial looks to life. The couple approached SHREE Jewellers nearly a year in advance with a clear vision: this wasn’t about trend-driven bridal glamour but about legacy, permanence, and identity.
Abhishek Agarwal and Kaushik Kumar, Managing Directors of SHREE Jewellers, revealed the meticulous journey: “From laying out the concept to multiple design discussions, customisation, production, trials, refinements, and finally presenting the completed ceremonial looks took the entire 10 months.”
Rashmika’s Divine Bridal Collection
Rashmika’s bridal look was envisioned around the aura of a living Goddess, with the bride wearing an extraordinary 11-piece gold jewellery suite finished in antique matte polish. Her collection featured high-relief Nakshi work and intricate Rava granulation, each detail hand-fused by master artisans.

The layered pieces complemented her rustic orange and gold Anamika Khanna saree, creating a harmonious visual narrative of a divine bride steeped in cultural tradition.
Vijay’s Sovereign King Ensemble
Vijay’s jewellery was conceptualized as ceremonial armour for a monarch, embodying the presence of a sovereign King. His pieces incorporated meaningful symbolism, with elephant motifs representing wisdom and stability, tiger elements symbolizing agility and strength, and floral patterns drawing from traditional inlay artistry.
His temple necklaces alone weighed between 1.2 and 2 kilograms, underscoring the sheer physicality of the pieces. Paired with his custom ivory dhoti and vermilion angavastram by Anamika Khanna, his ornate styling introduced a striking narrative around groom ornamentation, a space still relatively understated in Indian weddings.
Vijay’s collection included statement haars with Nakshi engraving, broad textured cuffs with braided detailing, sculptural bajubands, a bold waist belt mirroring necklace symbolism, earrings, and even an anklet. A ceremonial bhashikam adorned his forehead, completing the regal ensemble.
Craftsmanship and Symbolism
The jewellers drew deep inspiration from the grandeur of South Indian architecture that defines the culture. Master artisans employed traditional techniques including Nakshi engraving (hand-engraved work) and Rava granulation (intricate granular detailing). Every piece held its own significance, with no element being merely decorative.
The couple’s reaction to the final pieces was deeply emotional. According to the jewellers, Rashmika said she felt divine the moment she wore it, while Vijay felt powerful and grounded, almost god-like in his presence.
Valuation and Weight
Market estimates place the combined weight of the wedding jewellery at nearly three kilograms of gold. The valuation narratives suggest a total well over Rs 70 million, with Rashmika’s collection estimated at Rs 50 million or more and Vijay’s at Rs 20 million and above. These figures remain ballpark estimates rather than confirmed official prices.
