Shopping for edgy and quirky oxidised jewellery to spruce up your fit (make your fit, lit, if you may) is a whole different ball game than shopping for wedding jewellery. But whatever the occasion may be, especially If you've got a wedding to attend, Colaba Causeway won't do justice. So, we took a trip to Bhuleshwar Market and found a whole gold mine of wholesale wedding jewellery vendors, where jewellery is sold at unbelievably low prices.
The Ultimate Guide To Bhuleshwar Market: Mumbai's Jewellery Shopping Hotspot

How To Reach
Take the local train to reach Marine Lines (western line) or CSMT (central line). Reaching the market from these stations is very convenient through a short 10-12 mins taxi ride. The market is quite popular and every driver will be happy to take you here.

This is the perfect place to get your hands on dainty silver payals or anklets with gorgeous stones that gel well with your ghagras and ethnic skirts. They are sold for just INR 15 a pair (starting price) at Mahavir Ltd. You can also get them in bulk; 20 payals for INR 300.

Hidden Gems
Most of the shops in Bhuleshwar market offer jewellery wholesale which makes them quite affordable, however, if you’re looking to get your hands on single pieces, we highly suggest you stop at street-side stalls near Kabutarkhana.
Right outside the Bafna Creation, a small shop beside Harilal Velji Masalawala, you’ll find two guys selling Matha Patti for just INR 200, perfect for accessorising your hairstyle. The stall is small but they have quite a lot of variety, not just in Matha Patti but earrings as well.
There's a street stall right outside RK jewellers where you can find Hairband starting at just INR 200. Make sure to bargain a bit so you can get a good price. Believe us, they are really pretty. Perfect for the upcoming wedding season.
Rohit fashion store is a stall outside Pratap Co-Op. Bank Ltd selling Mangtika for INR 50 and Bracelet for just INR 100. Such a steal-deal in our opinion. The variety is just so good!
LBB Tip
Don't forget to sharpen your bargaining skills before you go. There's no stopping until the shopkeeper gives up! Most of these shops sell the jewellery in bulk but do ask for a single-piece price. They might agree.
