Vijay Deverakonda’s handmade jewellery for his wedding to Rashmika Mandanna has become one of the most talked-about aspects of the royal celebration online. The couple’s wedding was elevated by jewellery designs that followed a strong theme: Vijay as a mighty king and Rashmika as a living goddess, heavily influenced by the architecture of South Indian temples.
Deverakonda’s jewellery marked a departure from the current trend of minimal groom styling, bringing men’s jewellery to the forefront. The pieces worn are deeply rooted in Indian tradition, historically associated with kings, warriors, and gods depicted in Indian art and mythology. Such jewellery is also integral to classical Indian weddings, particularly in South India, North India, and Rajasthan, reflecting royal aesthetics.
The actor’s traditional wedding jewellery drew inspiration from historical and cultural motifs, custom-made in gold with significant symbolic and aesthetic value, rather than following Western minimalist styles.
Fans were quick to react on social media, praising his look. One user wrote, “He looks divine! Loved the necklaces, kadas, gold earrings. Very mythological, very Indian, absolutely loving this look. He literally set the template for grooms.” Another added, “He totally nailed it. Def a new standard for groom fashion, love the confidence too.”
