Role Of Indian Jewelry In Indian Culture

Jewelry in India has always played a significant role in society since ancient times. Especially for an Indian woman, her life is judged by the number of jewelry pieces she receives on any auspicious occasion. Even the poorest women make sure they buy jewelry that they can afford. Every piece of jewelry worn by a woman has an important value attached to it.

Indian jewelry is made with intricate designs and unique patterns, which makes it a very sort after and highly valued commodity in the international market. In Indian traditional customs, every piece of jewelry worn on any occasion has a significant meaning behind it.

WHY INDIAN WOMEN PLACE IMPORTANCE ON JEWELRY

Apart from the obvious to increase a woman’s beauty, jewelry is also a source of security in case of a financial crisis. Women jewelry is mostly made of gold, diamond, and silver. Traditionally, having a big collection of jewelry symbolized immense wealth, good status, and power. The connection shared between Indian women and jewelry is not only the traditional value it holds but also deeply rooted in science.
Here are some of the most common jewelry worn by Indian women and the significance behind every piece.

Maang Tikka


Maang tikka is a pendant that hangs on the front half of an Indian woman’s forehead with a hook at the back. Scientifically, the woman’s central part of the forehead is believed to hold the chakra responsible for preservation. Traditionally, the chakra has two petals carrying the half-male and half-female deity called Ardhanarishvara. It signifies the final union that cannot be broken. While in science it’s the meeting of both the physical and mental natural elements of a male and female.

Kundan Choker Necklace


You cannot get over this choker style that sits well with both well-tailored saree blouses and lehnga choli. You can opt for a kundan style choker, like Neha Dhupia’s simple but sensational piece which she wore for her wedding. Or take a cue from Deepika who complemented her red and gold wedding attire with a choker that was reminiscent of her Padmaavat look. Even Anushka Sharma wore a massive choker for her reception, looking regal and ravishing in a red Sabyasachi saree.

Bridal Jewellery Set - Matthapatti, Maangtikka & Pasa With Necklace


Traditional hair accessories have been topping the wedding charts. And why not? The diverse styles, the versatility and the elegance of this piece of jewelry are unmatched. A Kundan style Passa or Maang tika for a North Indian wedding function looks as stunning as a gold Matha Patti for the southern bride. Bride’s friends and sisters can opt for a more minimal look in beads and gemstones that can be worn either during the day or in the evening.

Western Statement Kundan Jewellery


Pre and post wedding functions call for jewelry that is all about glitter and glam. Glittering stones in champagne and pastel shades set in classic Victorian designs are must-haves for these events. Heirloom pieces in heritage cuts – baguette, square, oval, teardrop – They lend themselves beautifully to sheer, layered soft hued gowns, and well-tailored outfits. Take a cue from the celebrity brides who have paired classic sets – statement rings and chokers – with their shimmery party wear.

Conclusion

Indian women place a great value on their jewelry not only because of the traditional significance they hold by also scientific beliefs. Although modern jewelry has been modernized to suit the current fashion trends, the traditional jewelry is the most loved and worn by Indian women on special occasions. The Indian contemporary market has a blend of traditional and modern jewelry made from gold and silver decorated with precious stones.
