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.
