Indian jewelry
The East enchants with the luxury and brilliance of jewelry and clothes. Jewelry is of great importance for the people of India - it is a property, an object of almost religious worship. Indian jewelry has a very ancient history. The first products appeared more than 5 thousand years ago. All girls love beautiful and bright jewelry for their color and variety, but copying the oriental ethnic style, they don’t think about the meaning that a necklace, bracelet, ring, belt have, for which they pierce their nose and navel. But in Indian traditions, the material, the type of jewelry and how it is worn are of great importance.
Peculiarities
As already mentioned, jewelry in India is of tremendous importance. A large amount of jewelry on a girl is not tasteless, but on the contrary, attracts more happiness and beauty to her wearer.
Every detail of jewelry and costume has meaning. The embroidery of dresses reflects the divinity and incomprehensibility of the soul, the decorations reflect the spiritual nature of a person. Also, each decoration reinforces different qualities. Indians love to use natural motifs. For example, an elephant means wisdom and strength, jasmine means fertility. The material from which the jewelry is made matters. Jewelry made of natural stones symbolizes prosperity, beauty and love. Floral images symbolize sensuality and femininity.
Therefore, when choosing jewelry, you need to pay attention to symbolism.
How and when to wear
Jewelry can be worn both on holidays and in everyday life. Indian jewelry is able to spice up your look and goes well with the wardrobe of a modern European girl. It is enough to put on a bracelet, necklace or ring in order to add brightness to a casual or classic style of clothing. Large earrings with pearls are well suited to a strict black dress. Bracelets will look good with both jeans and a smart dress.
There is a universal approach: light jewelry with delicate shades is good in summer. Perfect jewelry made of stones, gold and silver. For example, put a bracelet on your wrist or a tika on your head.
Tika is an adornment that is worn on the head and touches the forehead, a part of the body that Indians treat with trepidation, as cosmic energy penetrates through the forehead. A woman independently chooses teak and stones with which she will be encrusted.
In winter, you can wear more massive and chic jewelry, decorated with large stones. Even 1-2 jewelry can bring a unique color and brightness to your image.
How jewelry affects a woman
Jewelry enhances the inner qualities and energies of a woman. Hindus believe that they even have medicinal properties. Rings on the hands regulate the functioning of the brain, worn on the toes - the menstrual cycle. Silver jewelry is mainly worn on the feet, as it is believed that they conduct the energy of the earth well.
You should take into account the material, the area of contact with the body, the color of the stones, because this can bring both positive and negative effects.
Jewelry on certain points of the body enhances the work of the chakras (human energy centers).
Costume jewelry from India will be a wonderful alternative to boring jewelry, it will bring luxury and charm of the East to your look. It will become indispensable for performing ethnic dances. Remember that jewelry is associated with the spiritual nature of man. Try different combinations of jewelry, trust your feelings and your sense of harmony.
