Traditional Indian Jewellery Ornaments Body Jewelery

Rarely in the world has handmade jewelry formed such an important part of personal adornment as it has in India. Archaeological evidence illustrating this dates back to the famous dancing girl of Harappa, an angular but alluring figurine naked but for body jewelry and sterling silver bangle on one arm stretching from the wrist almost to her shoulder. Sculpture from the Gandhara and Gupta periods again shows a minimum of indian clothing but an abundance of Indian Jewellery. Ornaments adorn hair, neck,ears, wrists arms and ankles, waist and toes.

The instinct for self-adornment is manifest very early on in the development of mankind motivated not only by the urge to decorate and beautify, but also by the need for personal talismans to provide protection against potentially destructive forces. At first, shells, pebbles, seeds and other small natural objects were used; indeed, seeds and wooden beads are still worn by holy men as sign of their religious affiliation. Shaivites wear rudraksha beads which are large, round, deeply sulcated seeds, and Vaishnavites wear necklaces of tulsi seeds or sandalwood. After the development  of  metal-working? however, gold and silver- durable, gleaming and brilliant- grew to be treasured and used for all manner of adornment. Gold and silver were coveted not only for their intrinsic beauty but also their relative scarcity, and they became highly valuable
