Jewelry has many purposes in India. For one, jewelry is a staple in every woman's closet or dresser, as these accessories are used to enhance her feminine beauty. They are essential to the adoration of women. These jewelry pieces are made of gold, silver, and a woman's best friend, diamonds.Aside from its adoration purposes, jewelry plays its role in economics and finances. As investments, jewelry can also be used as security measures during times of contingency. Expensive jewelry can be sold anytime, anywhere, whenever money is needed. And so, jewelry has insurance purposes as well. Jewelry, then, will always be in demand in India. Its style will vary from one state to another. The popularity of a certain type of jewelry in an area may not guarantee the same response in another location. However, some basic pieces will always be common among all Indian women. An example would be silver rings. Silver rings in India are worn on all five fingers. The many types of metal rings can be generally categorized as those with or without the bezel, which holds the decorative stone or seal. Based on Hindu astrology, each one of the nine planets of the universe has its corresponding stone. An Indian will know of the dominant planet during the time of his or her birth, since it is believed to carry a strong influence on the person's life. The wearing of these special stones can enhance or mitigate the influence of the planet. |
