- Choose by formality, movement and hours worn.
- Engagement, reception and festivals suit statement sets; sangeet and pre-wedding shoots need light, secure pieces; office and daily wear need small, quiet pieces.
- A four-event wedding-season plan costs ₹7,540 in gold plating (imitation jewellery, not real gold).
- Keep real gold for pieces you want to keep; use gold plating for the events around them.
- A 6-month colour guarantee and tiered buyback back every piece.
The same necklace cannot do an engagement, a Monday meeting and a Karwa Chauth night equally well. Choosing jewellery by occasion is the quickest way to look right and spend wisely.

Tanishka Jewels sells micro gold-plated (imitation) jewellery, not real gold: multi-layer plating, 2–3 microns thick, over a nickel-free copper-alloy base. Prices are for gold-plated looks from Tanishka Jewels as on 11 October 2026; the guides explain each look.
What does a wedding-season plan cost in gold plating?
CAIT’s 2025 wedding-season estimate put jewellery at about 15% of spending across the 2025 wedding season, and Indian Retailer reports families spreading it across several events. Gold plating lets you dress every event at a small fraction of that. A four-event plan for one woman costs ₹7,540.
| Event | Pieces | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Engagement | Premium AD Stone Necklace + Circular Ear Ring + Woman Ring Elegance Sunflower + Designer Bangle Pair | ₹2,446 |
| Pre-wedding (studio) | Premium AD Stone Luxury Necklace + Ear Tops | ₹1,248 |
| Sangeet (lehenga) | Ear Ring Royal look Grand Size + Maangtika | ₹1,098 |
| Reception (saree) | Rani Har Royal design + Designer Bangle Gold Covered | ₹2,748 |
| Four events | ₹7,540 |

Prefer to shop by piece instead of by occasion?
Each piece has its own guide, with sizes, styles, prices and the names shoppers use for it (one gram gold, gold covering, forming, imitation). Start with what the names mean if the names are confusing.
Where does real gold fit in?
Real gold is for the pieces you want to keep: the wedding set, the engagement ring, a token for Dhanteras or Akshaya Tritiya. 22K gold was ₹13,880 per gram on 10 October 2026 (Candere). Gold plating is for the many events around them, and for daily wear you do not want to guard. Read the full comparison and the explainer on demi-fine jewellery.
