Indian Jewelry
INTRODUCTION
India and jewelry, jewelry and Indian women - the terms are linked inherently.
At the time of wedding as well as numerous other occasions, a woman is
gifted jewelry by her parents and relatives. Although the gift is meant
to give her security in contingency, ornamentation is an obvious
purpose. All the cities across the length and width of India have shops
of jewelers - some traditional and some modern jewelers, catering to the
need of all kinds. Not that the affluent class people wear ornaments,
there are low cost jewelry items in ample, which cater the demand of low
income group as well.

India houses various kinds of jewelry arts, ranging from Meenakari and
Kundan to stone and bead work. The craft of cutting and polishing
precious and semi-precious stones and giving them glamorous face is
something artistic. Emeralds, rubies, garnets, amethysts, corals,
sapphires, and turquoises are among the stones which are used for the
enhancement of gold and silver jewelry. Gold jewelry is the most popular
among South Indian women. In southern part of India, gold is considered
auspicious and a status symbol. Talking about the art on gold jewelry,
Kundan is something that comes into our mind.
