Bengali gold jewellery is not just adornment — it is heritage, identity, and a timeless expression of Bengal’s rich artistic tradition. From the gleaming chur on a married woman’s wrists to the cascading layers of a sitahar, each piece tells a story that spans centuries.
At Rupashree Jewellers, we have been handcrafting these iconic designs in 22K BIS hallmarked gold since the 1920s. Here are the 10 traditional Bengali gold jewellery designs that every woman should own — whether you are building your collection or seeking the perfect festive purchase for Poila Baishakh and Akshaya Tritiya 2026.
1. Chur (Solid Gold Bangles)
The chur is the cornerstone of Bengali jewellery. These solid, cylindrical gold bangles are a symbol of saubhagya (marital bliss) and are worn by married Bengali women as an everyday essential.
- Material: 22K gold (BIS hallmarked)
- Weight range: 8 grams to 50+ grams per bangle
- Styles available: High Polish Churi, Mine Churi, Socket Churi, Motor Churi
- Best for: Weddings, Poila Baishakh, daily wear
- Starting price: From ₹45,000
A pair of chur is traditionally gifted by the groom’s family during the Bengali wedding ceremony and is considered one of the most auspicious pieces of gold jewellery a woman can own.

2. Bauti (Wide Engraved Bangles)
Bauti bangles are wider and feature intricate engraved designs — floral motifs, paisley patterns, and geometric carvings that showcase the master goldsmith’s artistry. These are statement pieces often passed down as heirlooms.
- Material: 22K gold
- Weight range: 15-40 grams
- Best for: Festive occasions, heirloom collection
- Styling tip: Wear a single bauti alongside slim chur for a layered look
3. Sitahar (Layered Gold Necklace)
The sitahar is the crown jewel of Bengali neckwear — a magnificent multi-layered necklace that adorns brides and is worn at the most important celebrations. The name comes from “sita” (white/pure) and “haar” (necklace).
- Material: 22K gold
- Weight range: 30-80 grams
- Layers: Typically 3, 5, or 7 layers
- Best for: Weddings, Durga Puja, grand celebrations

A sitahar from Rupashree Jewellers is a lifetime investment — both in beauty and in value.
4. Jui Maala (Jasmine Flower Chain)
Named after the fragrant jui (jasmine) flower, this delicate chain features tiny gold elements linked together to resemble a garland of jasmine buds. It is the epitome of understated Bengali elegance.
- Material: 22K gold
- Weight range: 10-25 grams
- Best for: Daily wear, festive mornings, casual occasions
- 2026 trend: Pairing jui maala with linen or cotton sarees for a minimalist-chic Bengali look

5. Guinne (Coin-Shaped Jewellery)
Guinne — coin-shaped gold elements — appear in both earrings and haars. Their simplicity and timelessness make them a beloved Bengali design. Guinne earrings are often a young girl’s first piece of gold jewellery.

- Material: 22K gold with stone/meenakari work
- Weight range: 15-35 grams
- Best for: Festive wear, weddings, special occasions
- Available styles: Ruby-studded, emerald-accented, meenakari work

- Weight range: 25-60 grams
- Best for: Bengali weddings, bridal collections
- Design elements: Typically features lotus, fish, or paisley motifs

- Styles: Chand Bali (crescent), Jhumko (bell-shaped), Suidhaga (chain-style)

10. Mukut (Bridal Crown/Tiara)
The mukut or topor is the golden crown worn by both Bengali brides and grooms during the wedding ceremony. While the groom’s topor is typically made of shola (pith), the bride’s mukut can be a stunning gold piece.
- Material: 22K gold or gold-plated
- Best for: Bengali wedding ceremonies
- Why it’s special: The most iconic piece of Bengali wedding tradition
