Ornaments for every part of the body

In India the ornaments are made practically for every part of the body. Such a variety of ornaments bears the testimony to the excellent skills of the jewelers in India. The range of jewelry in India varied from religious one to purely aesthetic one. Jewelry was crafted not just for humans but also for the gods, ceremonial elephants and horses. The craft of jewelry was given a royal patronage right from the ancient times. The rajas and maharajas vied with each other to possess the most exquisite and the most magnificent pieces of jewelry. Temple complexes supported many different styles of jewelery-scented sandalwood bead necklaces, the prayer bead or the rudraksh (berry of the elaocarpus canitrus) necklace, multicoloured silk and gold thread necklaces.

Indian Jewellery Business

The Indian jewelry business for years has been family owned with Tribhuvandas Bhimji Zaveri, Popley, L. Sunderdas and many other favorites.

In India it was always the trusted family goldsmith to whom all jewelry designing and making was entrusted. Besides, in India, jewelry has always been an investment first and an ornament second. A label for a jewelry piece was unheard of decades ago. It was the family run jewelry stores who dictated the designs or the karigar (designer) who was willing to make a copy from a photograph in a magazine.

In the nineties a new change was perceived as the large industrial giant Tata eyed the jewelry market with newfound interest. They produced Tanishq jewelry with western designs and an affordable price tag, along with the Tata stamp of reliability. The launch of Tanishq spawned a trail of branded jewelry that blitzed the Indian market both from abroad and within the country.

There is a shift in jewelry buying from investment to ornament. From 14, 18 carat ready-to-wear jewelry collections, they have moved to 22 and even 24. Today branded jewelry is available in the price ranges and designs to suit various buyers. Branded jewelry sends a new message to the women of India — you don’t have to be rich to wear gold and diamonds.

Indian Jewellery

Jewellery has been part of the Indian civilization since ancient history. Ornaments made of gold, silver, copper, ivory, pottery and beads have been discovered in civilizations as ancient as the Harappa and Mohanjodaro.

Transgressing through time and history, Indian jewellery has not remained just a craft, but evolved into an art - both in design and workmanship. For the rulers, jewels were a statement of power, prosperity and prestige. But for the Indian woman, jewellery was and is, even today in many parts considered as a security, the value of which will almost always accentuate, never depreciate.
