Necklace ShalinCraft

Most likely, the predecessor of the necklace in India was a fresh flower garland, to which there are a number of references in literature. One of the designs of a necklace is known as champakali, i.e. 'buds of frangipani'. Even today, despite the emergence of paper and plastic flower garlands, the custom of offering fresh flower garlands has retained its charm. Amulets tied to a string are usually worn on the neck. The origins of wearing elaborate necklaces may have been partially rooted in this magical function. Howusually worn on the neck.

Charm necklaces have a simple but long history, over thousands of years. A charm is a talisman, a keepsake, which reminds you of something special, and helps you keep your focus on a certain goal or purpose. They have taken shape as religious symbols fashioned in precious metals and highlighted with gems, as simple stones wrapped in leather, or birds carved from bone representing a special significance to the wearer. Today, charms are worn on necklaces and bracelets for exactly the same reason.
Any lady who wears a silver necklace is able to show off a part of her like that of a moon when it casts a resplendent type of light, bright yet cool, to the eyes. That being said, silver necklaces can, therefore, make a lady look her best.

Indeed, silver is such a cool color. It enhances and complements other cool hues beautifully. Silver color brings out the best in blue, white and black colors. If you look elegant in black, you should at least have a silver necklace as jewelry. Or you can have and wear some other pieces of silver jewelry as these can enhance almost anything that you wear.

If you possess a cool skin tone, you will look great in anything that’s silver. So, a selection of silver colored clothes to will help you project the kind of skin tone that you have. Go, also, for silver shoes, bags and especially, silver necklaces.

Rings

There are hardly any people in the world who do not wear finger rings. In India, besides finger, there has baan a custom of wearing thumb rings too. Mudra and angushthi, the two Sanskrit words for ring stand for seal and thumb ring respectively. Today, the Hindi word anguthi is commonly used for finger ring but origionally it stood for thumb ring. Mudra or mudrika is a type of ring to which is attached a flat piece of stone or metal serving as shank, having an inscription, sign or insignia engraved in reverse to serve as seal.

Shalin-India:




A ruler, a minister or any person having an authority to put a seal on a document kept such a ring on his thumb or finger all the time so that it could not be misused. Released to this class of rings is the type where a religious dictum, a prayer, a magical chant or a diagram were similarly engraved with a view to protect the wearer from the evil eye or other such dangers.


According to Indian astrology, the course of good or bad events in a person's life is governed by the effect that certain planets have on a certain individual, depending upon the planetary position that existed at the time of his or her birth. To prevent the malevolent influence of a particular planet, a ring having a specific stone, related to that planet, inlaid in its shank is recommended for wearing by the affected person.




For example to avoid the malevolent effect of Saturn, blue sapphire is recommended, whereas red coral, emeraid and yellow sapphire are considered beneficial against the harmful effects of Mars, Mercury and lupiter respectively. Aarsi, literally meaning mirror, is a thumb ring with a large circular shank containing a mirror. This ring is primarily used by women as a handy mirror. Besides these specific magical or astrological functions, finger rings are primarily used as marks of beauty and vehicles for display of wealth and status. As is the case with ornaments in general, the tribal and the village communities use silver rings with semi-precious.

Short Kurta for men in Cotton from India

As we all know, fashion trends change every year. Some may find it inappropriate but, it is somehow important for us to know the latest trends in order for us to look good and updated with the changing times. But what are the latest clothing trends for men?

Shalin-India.Com:



Traditional Costumes: In Style
Indian traditional costumes vary on the basis of the climate and natural fibers grown in a region.
Men in dry regions such as Rajasthan and Gujarat prefer to wear a length of plain cotton cloth known as dhoti around their lower limbs and a shirt-like kurta above. In Rajasthan, men wear colorful turbans to give a shine to their overall personality. Rajasthani women dress themselves in pleated skirt known as the ghagra or lehanga. A length of fine cotton known as orhni or dupatta covers the heads.




To buy a men's dress shirt that is best for you, it's important to consider the colour and pattern that suits your unique build and complexion.

For many, the average men's shirt is simply a garment of utility - one that is worn by men across the world for reasons of function and not necessarily fashion. But this attitude belies the hundreds of years of trends in men's shirts. From the typical collarless shirts with billowing sleeves worn by classical painters to the modern formal button-down shirt, men's shirts have captured the imaginations of both designers and ordinary men for generations. In the twentieth century in particular, a range of different shirt styles have proved popular with men of all ages.

Earring Jewelry

Ear Ornaments are almost mandatory accessories for a Hindu woman and wearing them is considered both becoming and auspicious. Earrings also have specific significance, denoting a married woman. According to the philosopher Shankara, in his treatise Saundarya Lahiri, Lord Shiva's immortality is attributed to the power of his mother's tantakar (ear ornaments). The verse of Saundarya Lahiri that mentions Shiva has been interpreted by mediaeval commentators to mean that the sun and the moon are tantakrs adorning Devi's (Shiva's consort, goddess Parvati) ears and are hence under her aegis. The commencement, duration and the end of time are directed by the sun and the moon and so are virtually controlled by the tantakar worn by Devi.
