  1. Significance of Jewellery in Indian Tradition

  2. Jewelry is seen as lucky for ladies in India. Even the most impoverished women will carry some sort of jewellery with them during key life events like childbirth, coming-of-age, marriage, motherhood, etc. For married Indian women, specific jewellery pieces like the mangalsutra, nath (nose ring), and toe rings are necessary. These presents have been given without interruption through generations of custom. As a sign of riches, power, and femininity, jewellery given to women at the time of their marriage is known as “stridhan,” which is Sanskrit for “wealth of women.” • In India, jewellery design is so adaptable that it differs from state to state. If a piece of jewellery is really popular in one state, it might not be in another. But all women in India wear a certain amount of basic jewellery.

  3. Basic jewellery used by Indian women includes maangtika, earrings, nose rings, necklaces, mangalsutras, bangles, and other bridal accessories. Interestingly, gold is still the most popular metal for bridal jewellery today, and during the past ten years, these pieces have become more and more frequently set with latest designer diamond jewellery. • Each stone in ancient jewellery was endowed with a magical quality and employed as a form of protection against bad powers in addition to being an ornament. For the same reason, the navaratna, or nine stones, which are each devoted to a planet, are still worn in a specific arrangement. The maniratna, also known as the serpent stone, served as a talisman for the wearer’s protection. Even now, during Hindu worship, sandalwood beads, rudraksha, and tulsi seeds are worn.

  4. Paizeb: • Paizeb, commonly known as anklets, is worn around the ankle. It serves as a foot ornament. The many regions of India each wore a different type of anklet. Examples include the Payal, gajra, sankla, chanjar, zanjiri, golusu, and kaappu. Either gold or silver was used to make it.

  5. Bangles: • Bangles or Kadas may be solid, hollow, or lac-filled. The north was known for wearing a variety of bracelets and bangles, including the bangdi, churi, naugari, pahunchi, kangan, gaira, bartana, patri, dastband, and kada. They are constructed from iron, steel, glass, ivory, gold, or silver. A Punjabi bride must wear a chura, which is traditionally constructed of ivory and colored red and white.

  6. Necklace: • Since the emergence of ancient civilizations and before the invention of writing, necklaces have been a crucial component of jewellery. The length of women’s necklaces is frequently categorized, with terms like Choker, Princess Necklace, Matinee Necklace, Opera Necklace, Rope Necklace, Pearl Necklace, and Diamond Necklace being used. Men and women wear necklaces in cultures all around the world for ornamentation and social standing. In fact, diamond mangalsutra pendants are also quite popular in this category.

  7. Earrings: • An earring is a piece of jewelry attached to the ear via a piercing in the earlobe or another external part of the ear. There is various type in which the earrings are crafted, they can be Stud earrings, Hoop Earrings, Drop Earrings, Dangle earrings, Ear Spikes, and Ear Thread.

  8. Nath (Nose Ring): • These jewellery, known as nath, are fastened through a piercing on the side of the nostril and are frequently worn by ladies from the Indian subcontinent. In recent decades, nostril piercing has gained popularity throughout the world due to globalization and the spread of Indian fashion and culture. Small gems or studs worn on a piercing have also recently become fashionable for (mostly) young women in other parts of the world, including the Americas, Japan, and Europe.

  9. MaangTika: • Maang tikka is a common piece of jewellery worn primarily by married ladies in India. Tikas on a woman’s forehead are a traditional addition to Indian bridal attire. Chain and pendant sets are known as mang tikkas.
