I'm a punjabi and I have never seen my mother, aunts or bhabhis in my extended family etc without mangalsutra and sindoor..! Or even without a bindi or bangles.. Like they all wear at least one gold/laakh or any other bangle in each hand if not dozens on daily basis... :) specially my mother she doesn't even go without earrings on daily basis. My grandmother scolds me for not wearing any earrings though I'm unmarried :P she always tells us not to keep our ears and hands bare. Maybe it differs family to family?
