Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s wedding on February 26, 2026, in Udaipur was a grand affair, but what truly caught everyone’s attention was their elaborate gold jewellery. Crafted by SHREE Jewellers, the wedding pieces took 10 months to complete and were made using kilos of traditional temple jewellery.

Abhishek Agarwal and Kaushik Kumar, Managing Directors of SHREE Jewellers, told NDTV, “We have always admired Rashmika and Vijay for their craft, but to know them personally and be a part of their magical day was truly special. They are wonderful human beings, and being entrusted with such an intimate celebration is something we will always cherish. Like the rest of the country, we are still taking it all in.”

Vijay’s royal, maximalist look

Vijay Deverakonda opted for a bold and ornate look, standing out in an era dominated by minimal wedding styling. SHREE Jewellers said, “Vijay Deverakonda's jewellery introduced a strong narrative around ornate groom styling, a space still relatively understated in Indian weddings.”

“Channelling the authority of a mythic king, his ceremonial pieces incorporated elephant motifs symbolising wisdom and tiger elements representing agility, balanced with refined floral patterns inspired by traditional inlay work. Deep Nakshi engraving created dimensionality, while braided textures and Rava detailing added sculptural weight,” the statement read.

Vijay wore large ear studs, layered necklaces, an arm cuff, wrist cuff, ankle kadas and a little finger ring. The temple necklace and detailed engravings gave him a regal appearance.The brand added that, in today’s changing wedding trends where men’s jewellery is becoming more popular, the look was seen as a bold shift away from minimal groom styling, with ornamentation being embraced as a symbol of strength.



Rashmika’s heritage-inspired bridal jewellery

Rashmika Mandanna’s jewellery was inspired by South Indian temple architecture. SHREE Jewellers told NDTV that her look honoured her roots while shaping her identity as a “contemporary” Indian star.

“The collection featured high-relief Nakshi work and intricate Rava granulation, each detail hand-fused by master artisans,” the Hyderabad-based brand said. She wore 11 pieces, including a choker, harams, jhumkas, jada billa, champasaralu, hathphool, mathapatti, nose pin, bangles, bajuband, waist belt and anklets.

“Finished in an antique matte polish, the creations carried a rich, heritage-inspired glow, crafted to move seamlessly with her silhouette. The intention was not just adornment, but permanence - jewellery conceived as legacy pieces meant to transcend generations,” the brand shared.

Speaking about the process, SHREE Jewellers said that deep inspiration was drawn from the grandeur of South Indian architecture that beautifully defines the culture. It added that Rashmika's bridal look was envisioned around the aura of a living Goddess, while Vijay's ensemble was designed to embody the presence of a sovereign King.
