Average Customer Review:


Indians have been using handcrafted jewelry for centuries. The significance of Indian jewelry is evident in the fact that jewelry has played significant roles in different occasions, as gifts or declarations of status.
Just like a car, a woman without accessories would be incomplete. From earrings, necklaces, nose rings, to anklets, armlets, and bracelets, jewelry gives women exactly what they need to look and feel beautiful.
The Indian variety of bracelets, from cuffs to silver bracelets, is matchless. Sterling silver bracelets and even bangles were traditionally part of the jewelry collection of women. There are customs and traditions that surround these bangles in Indian culture. Bangles were usually made of wood, glass, gold, silver, or platinum. Glass and metal bangles are the most common in India.
As mentioned, jewelry has significance in the lives of women in India. As gifts, jewelry commemorates important milestones in their lives such as birth, coming of age, marriage, and becoming a mother. In addition, jewelry has amorous and romantic connotations as well.
Chain bracelets are more flexible than bangles given their ability to open or close, making them easier to wear. They can be made out of flat metal bands with varying widths and lengths, with an assortment of fastenings such as movable pins or screws. Link bracelets in particular can be constructed out of wire that has been braided, woven, or inter-meshed. Other designs are fashioned of intricate strands that are strung together, or cords that have been looped, forming a chain.
Earrings are common accessories for Indian women because wearing them is believed to be auspicious. Be it a pair of gold or silver earrings, these pieces of handmade jewelry carry special significance in particular as they denote a married woman. Earrings are worn through holes that are pieced in the ears. Since wearing earrings is a cultural and social statement, young girls get their ears pierced even before they turn one. It is through piercing that the ear can hold different types of ear ornaments. A stud, of course, can be attached to any part of the ear most especially the tragus, helix, and lobe. In particular, the shank passes through the ear and is then held into position by a pressure fitting or ornamental screw. There is a plethora of ways that earrings are adorned. They can be embellished with stones, pearls, or enamel. Earrings can also have decorative chains and miniature pendants such as leaves, bells, balls, or flowers. Indian earrings can also be worn plain, without any stones or embellishments. A plain gold or silver pair of earrings can already make a stunning style statement. There are trendy Indian earrings that feature artificial gems, stones, beads, and other decorative elements. For sparkle, fancy earrings can be silver or gold plated.
