The kemp necklace is an important piece of art that represents temple jewellery.

It brightens up the bride’s wedding attire and looks stunning, no matter what kind of wedding lehenga she is wearing.

The Bajuband or armlet is a temple jewellery ornament worn by women on their upper arm. However, you will be fascinated to know that in earlier times, this piece of jewellery was worn by men! It’s available in various designs and shapes and doesn’t have to be worn in both the arms. One Bajuband is enough to make an impression for the bride.

This is an exotic piece of jewellery that should definitely be added in a bride’s trousseau.
