The word jewelry is derived from the word jewel, which was anglicized from the Old French "jouel" in around the 13th century. If you are beauty conscious and wish to look more and more beautiful, then gems and jewelry are the best way for looking beautiful. Women take special care towards their look, Jewelery
is their first choice for looking unique.
On the eve of special events like marriage party, birth day party, reception party and other occasions, women can go for numerous type of jewelry made of aquamarine, amethyst, blue topaz, citrine, garnet, tanzanite, diamond etc. Jeweleries like rings, bracelets, pendants, earrings, necklaces; nose rings, brooches and anklets are the most appreciated jewelries. Today there are numerous companies and manufacturers who are engaged in manufacturing various kinds of jewelries.
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.
Marriages in India are synonymous to jewellery. The traditional jewellery of India is what makes the Indian weddings so rich and unique in their own manner. There are exclusive designs and works which complete the traditional look of the jewellery. The traditional gold jewellery is passed on for generations and families hold jewellery made many decades ago. The different jewellery includes armlets, bracelets, bangles, necklaces, earrings, fingerings, toe rings, nose rings, anklets, pendants and waistbands.
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.
Pair of toe rings is a symbol of a married girl. These toe rings are usually made of silver and can even be studded with a stone. There are different styles of nose rings worn by women of different cultures. In the north they were large nose rings, sometimes the nose rings are bigger than the bangles they wear.
