Since South Indian gold is slightly lighter in colour, antique gold jewellery is polished a bit darker to look like a dull gold colour that camouflages the heavy look of the wedding attire. Antique designs like haath pools, maang tikkas, kadas, vankis, and waist belts along with heavy neckpieces are the major South Indian bridal fashion. And when speaking of popular antique gold jewellery, the Gundla Mala (beaded necklace having three layers) is also quite a hot choice amongst brides.
