I love Indian jewlery. My friend Kym has some lovely family pieces.
When Hawaiian Queen Kapiolani visited Queen Victoria, a gift of a gold bracelet was presented to the island majesty on which her name was depicted in olde English script. Today "Hawaiian Heirloom Bracelets" adorn the wrists of many women here. Often they display the names of their children. It is common to wear more than one - I enjoy several. They show my cultural attachment to these islands I love. Aloha & Namaste!
So it's like the wedding ring here.. Do they wear it everyday or have a simple one for everyday life? In any case it's very nice I like the gold pearls too.
This is beautiful, such lovely jewelry. I remember as a child passing by an Indian store on my way home from school. I always marveled at the things that were in the window and I remember the jewelry. I loved the earings especially and saved up for a very long time for a pair. My allowance was very small but eventually I was able to purchase them and I wore them often.

ReplyDeleteNice colourful photo!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful jewelry. I like the colors in the Mangalsutra.
ReplyDeleteI'd never gotten a close up look at a mangalsutra before -- at least not and known that's what it was. That's handy information to have, no doubt!
ReplyDeleteFunny you should say shots of jewelry from around the world... my shot is also of jewelry from India. Or at least made by a person from India.
Great shooting!
The zari border is complementing the jewellery beautifully :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice composition!

ReplyDeleteSo it's like the wedding ring here..
ReplyDeleteDo they wear it everyday or have a simple one for everyday life?

My questions were the same as Marie Noyale. Do they wear it all days like our ring.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful tradition, I love that it's colorful to match the sari. It reflects the joy of the wedding day.
Nice bright colors. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYes Marie and Catherine, the mangalsutra is worn everyday.
ReplyDeletepretty, pretty.
ReplyDeleteGreat......the one with the golden beads is called the Mohanamala and tiny golden beads is called the Moogmala in our community!
ReplyDeleteLovely.
