Designs have evolved and perfected over the centuries. Ornaments
in the shape of a common fruit , flower or even spices are beautiful examples. From
the Maharajas to the common folks they are still available in a wide range of
budgets
The Mughals explored style and design using precious stones
and intricate carvings. They brought in the technical knowledge required for
gem-setting, which is apparent even today.
The Rajputs, on the other hand, had their enameled
jewellery patterns. The British loved their intricate flower motifs, bringing
in the modern world discovery in design. Such cross-cultural contributions and
inspirations are the reason why Indian jewellery is so exclusive.
Hair accessories or jewellery, for bridal decorations , or for the
bridesmaid, festivals, special occasions or possibly with indo-western are catching on today.
