Indian Jewellery – synonyms with variety and intricate designs is greatly influenced by the rich culture and tradition of our country. In a country like ours, where women and jewellery go hand in hand, jewellery has moved beyond from being a mere adornment to way of representing oneself.
Indian jewellery is basically divided into three categories – temple Jewellery, spiritual jewellery and bridal jewellery. Temple jewellery was initially the jewellery used to adorn the idols of Gods and Goddesses. It included chunky neckpieces, bangles ornate with precious stones like diamonds, rubies and emeralds, armlets, anklets and nose rings.
Later temple jewellery was worn by dancers of Bharathanatyam and Kuchipudi dance forms. Of late the designs of temple jewellery have become so popular that it is a ‘must’ in every bridal jewellery trousseau.
