Belly Chains

The word jewelry is originated from the word "jewel." Further tracing leads the origin of "jewelry" from the Latin word "jocale," which means plaything. Body jewelry in literal terms consists of ornamental jewelry worn by people to show rank or wealth, or as fashion trend. It is typically made of gems like diamonds, solitaire, rubies, sapphires, emeralds and precious metals like gold, silver, or platinum. Costume jewelry, on the other hand, is made up of less valuable metals like glass, wood, ivory and plastic.

A belly chain or waist chain is a type of body jewelry worn around the waist. Some belly chains attach to a navel piercing; these are also called "pierced belly chains". They are often made of silver or gold. Sometimes a thread is used around waist instead of a chain.

India Gifts

Gifts are the ideal way to express mutual love and affection with each other in the busy society of today. They form the basis of mutual trust and bonding that people share with one another. I'm sure that as a child, you still remember your first gift - perhaps a toy from your parents, or your near and dear ones. It is not difficult to imagine how you must have clung to that gift with joy and delight. It is also possible that you shared the gift and your feelings of happiness with your siblings and friends alike.

About Rakhi

Raksha Bandhan (also known and commonly abbreviated as "Rakhi") is a Hindu Festival which celebrates the sacred bond between brothers and sisters. The word "Raksha Bandhan" literally translates to "the pact of protection" and this occasion is observed on the night of full moon in the month of Shraavana. This year, Rakhi is being celebrated on the 5th of August 2009.
This festival is celebrated by the ritual of the sister tying the "Rakhi" - a sacred / holy thread on the wrist of her brother. The tying of the thread indicates a pact where the brother vows to protect and look after her sister. He also offers gifts to his sister. The brother and sister also offer sweets to each other.

Rakhi is also observed in relationships which are not strictly brother-sister by birth. Cousins, Platonic friends also tie rakhi to their "adopted" brothers.

Silver Jewellery in India

Indian Jewellery designs are based on themes from the nature, geometric patterns and symbols from the ancient texts dating back several epochs. Some emblems are used to mark a dynasty and that is passed on to the next generation.
Different regions and cultures follow their unique designs and works. The south is known for its extensive temple based large deigns, the north is known for its exclusive carved designs, the west is known for its mirrored and stoned works and the east is famous for its beaded work. Many trends are taken from the Middle East regions but the designing is unique.

Each region of India has distinctive styles of Jewellery specific to it. Many factors - castes, cultural developments, external influences such as those from migratory tribes and trade contacts - influence the styles of a particular place. If we consider the nose ornament, for example, there was - surprisingly - hardly any reference to it in early Indian literature, sculptures or murals. The earliest depiction of the nose ornament is from the tenth century AD, in Mughal miniature and Rajasthani paintings. This has led to the inference that the nose ornament was introduced in India only after the invasion of the Arabs in the ninth-tenth century AD.

                       

Excavations at the Indus Valley civilization sites of Mohenjodaro and Harappa (now in Pakistan), ehargarh (Pakistan), La;onamgam (Rajasthan), Dhoulavira (gujarat) and Kunal (Haryana) have uncovered several beads in a variety of shapes and materials, including silver, which was used to make necklaces and hand ornaments. The earliest evidence of silver jewellery has been from the Indus Valley - silver strips found in Kunal may have been used in tiaras in the early Harappan phase of the Indus civilization.
The benefits of online jewellery shopping not only limited to cost saving and time saving factors but it is also a convenient mode that carries different attractive offers and discounts that is quite important while shopping for a jewelry.

Splendid necklaces worn by the women as well as wide amulets and numerous heavy bracelets and anklets, many of which have little bells which tinkle as they move. The pahaunchi, for the wrist, the bazuband for the arm, and the massive kara for the armlets, are perhaps the favourites, but many wear large earrings which are supported by chain-like flat bands hanging across the head. Some wear several rings and a few the hathphool which covers the back of the hand and it is attached to the rings on the fingers and the lowest bracelets", wrote Col.T.H Hendly, in the Journal of Indian Art and Industry (1909) describing the jewellery of then Rajputana, now Rajasthan. Perhaps, the silver jewellery of the land hand cast a dazzling spell on Hendly, who took up serious research on it despite being a busy medical professional. Surgeon Hendly was posted in Jaipur and, along side his medical duties, he undertook serious research and documentation of the traditions in jewellery.
