When Indian jewelry is all-important


 
Business
The Indian bride will always be bedecked with a variety of valuable ornaments. Indian jewelry is world famous and is most of the jewelry-making art is a very ancient one. Irrespective of how dear the precious yellow metal gets, when it comes to an auspicious occasion or a wedding, Indians will always splurge on gold jewelry. In ancient times the idea behind gifting the bride with expensive ornaments was to provide her with financial security. All of this has changed but the tradition of gifting and wearing Indian jewelry to complement Indian bridal wear has not.

Gold and silver jewelry shops abound in every city in India and it is not just the prerogative of the rich to invest in gold. Ornaments however might be made of plated gold and the base material may be silver or an alloy of copper and silver and will be plated in 22 carat gold. This makes intricate jewelry easily accessible to people who cannot afford solid gold ornaments. Artisans across India use various forms of jewelry-making to create pieces that are exquisitely beautiful. In most parts of the country, gold is considered to be auspicious and will be worn as a status symbol as well.

There is nothing simple about traditional Indian jewelry. Most of it will be very ornate and intricately carved. Indian bridal wear is heavy and this jewelry matches it. Precious stones will be set in precious metals to create pieces that are a works of art. Jewelry art forms such as kundan and meenakari are very popular. Most jewelers, big and small have realized that urban women prefer simplistic designs which can be used without too much of trouble to work and for daily use as well. Innovative designs have now been created and these are less fussy and ideal for daily wear.

In most cases, gems and precious stones such as amethyst’s, sapphires, turquoises and corals are used. The sheen of gold and the brightness of silver offsets these stones very beautifully. Antique-looking jewelry is also in vogue and the metals are oxidized to add an old-world charm to them. Some ornaments will also be set in white gold or platinum and are much more expensive than the traditionally used precious metals. In addition to the stone-encrusted work, silver and gold beads are used very artistically to create interesting designs. Necklaces, earrings, bangles and rings are the common pieces that make up a jewelry set.

Individual pieces are also available. Traditionally, most people used to order their jewelry at a jeweler. Today, that concept too has changed and a large number of people prefer to do their jewelry shopping online. Most well-established jewelers have online portals where you can view numerous ornaments. It is advisable to acquire all your ornaments from a reputed store as they offer guarantees on all purchases that have been made online as well. Never take chances with gold and never go to a small-time jeweler. The reputed ones also offer buy-back guarantees that cover depreciation costs of the precious metal.
