Indian Jewellery has for centuries been admired and sought after. The beautiful designs, expert craftsmanship and use of precious stones like diamonds, pearls, rubies and emeralds encrusted in Gold and Silver have been aspired and sought by generations.

Jewelry from India is normally created by local artisans skilled in the craft of setting precious and semi-precious stones with extremely good finishing. Kings, Maharajas, Queens, Princesses and Princes in India have traditionally worn some of the most exclusive and beautifully created jewellery. Indian Jewellery pieces like Necklaces, Bajubandhs (Arm Bands), Head-pieces, Anklets, Rings, Bracelets, Bangles, etc. the list of the different pieces of Indian jewelry is endless!

In the contemporary world, Indian jewellery is seen as the reserve of Women. For the modern woman, the choices are extensive and she can shop in so many different ways for her favourite styles. Some of the styles that have proved popular recently include a revival of traditional and age-old styles and patterns that were popular during the time of kings and queens.

The style of this jewellery is of course timeless and it is not surprising that recent fashion is turning to tradition for inspiration. After all, precious jewellery from India is timeless and usually something to be passed along from one generation to the next. It is not un-common for girls to sport jewellery owned by their grandmothers and receive gushing compliments on their look. Indian women have mastered the art of combining traditional styles with modern outfits.

Indian Earrings are one example of a piece of jewellery that have evolved, but at the same time are equally popular in traditional styles. Traditionally, earrings tended to be chunky, large and with hanging pieces. The hanging pieces are in multiple shapes: bell shapes, round disc shaped or even geometric patterns. The more extravagant ones featured precious stones as hanging pieces. Floral shaped earrings (Roses, leaves and the like) were particularly treasured for their craftsmanship. In the modern contemporary world, Indian Earrings are simpler and lighter. They still sport precious stones like diamonds, onyx and other stones, but the shapes are more geometric and easier to combine with many outfits.

Indian bags and Indian handbags are another example of precious accessories. While not strictly indian jewellery, bags are usually encrusted with precious and semi-precious jewels. Handbags created by Indian Designer Meera Mahadevia for example feature extensive use of stones, both precious and semi-precious. To own one of these bags is not just a matter of pride and joy, but also a piece to treasure and pass through generations – just like Indian Jewellery. The styling is glamorous and the finishing is exquisite – there is a reason she has been creating luxury hand-bags for over 25 years! Do not miss the latest collections at Strand of Silk.
