India Jewelry

Indian jewelry comes in a plethora of styles and designs that carry various ornaments to be worn on almost every part of the body. In days of old, men and women used to adorn themselves using rings, necklaces, and anklets made of metals and crude stones. As artisans began to develop more advanced techniques in jewelry making, they mastered the skill of polishing metals. They also began to extract gems and semi-precious stones from the mines. Rulers and kings wore elaborate jewelry, hoping to make themselves look like powerful gods. Their various adornments were made of precious stones and gold and were proudly displayed in their crowns, chains, anklets, and rings. The variety of jewelry pieces Indian women wear is quite wide. It ranges from necklaces and earrings to adornments for the hips, hair, and feet. They have adorned themselves with diamonds, pearls, emeralds, sapphires, rubies, and other precious stones for thousands of years.

Indian culture believe in 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' -It means whole Earth is a family. Indian culture is rich, varied and diverse and as a result unique in its very own way. Indian manners, way of talking with one another, etc are one of the important components of our culture. Even though we have accepted modern means of living, improved our lifestyle, our values and beliefs still remain unchanged. A person can change his way of clothing, way of eating and living but the rich values in a person always remains unchanged because they are deeply rooted within our hearts, mind, body and soul which we receive from own culture.Indian culture treats guests as god and serves them and takes care of them as if they are a part and parcel of the family itself. Even though we don’t have anything to eat, the guests are never left hungry and are always looked after by the members of the family. Elders and the respect for elders is a major component in Indian culture. Elders are the driving force for any family and hence the love and respect for elders comes from within and is not artificial. An individual takes blessings from his elders by touching their feet. Elders drill and pass on the Indian culture within us as we grow.
