Wedding
Jewellery
No bridal outfit would be complete
without ornate jewellery, and when it comes to Indian bridal jewellery
the obvious choice is gold. In India, marriage and jewellery are
inseparably interlinked. Jewelry has many connotations, both aesthetic
and ritual. The wearing of jewellery is supposed to endow the women with
qualities of power and authority, as well as great beauty.
Gold has traditionally symbolized wealth and prosperity within Indian
culture, holding special significance in celebrations such as weddings
and births. Often presented as a gift or tangible form of investment,
this precious metal features heavily in most Indian weddings. Ornaments
such as the mangalasutra, bindi, ear rings, bangles, nose rings and
rings are presently worn by brides almost all over the country.
The traditional 'mangalasutra' usually in gold, comes in various forms
and sizes -some with auspicious symbols depicting 'Om' or gods like
Vishnu or Shiva (for Hindus) or a cross (for Christians) and others with
traditional designs. Nowadays more fashionable versions with diamonds
and precious stones are also seen. In the south especially in Tamil Nadu
and in a few other states, Thaali's are tied on a thick yellow thread.
When the thread is worn out, they are replaced by a new thread.
Generally, in the northern states Mangalsutra is worn on a chain with
two strings of black beads interspersed with gold. These beads are
believed to protect the marriage against evil. Traditional or modern,
the varieties of Indian jewellery available are numerous and the choices
limitless. Each part of India offers their own traditional ornaments
with special significance and these typically traditional ornaments with
slight variations remain trendy at all times.
