Meenakari jewelry: This jewelry is made up of kundan and is embedded in silver or gold. Precious beads and stones are also used in these jewelry pieces and are extremely popular in Rajasthan and other parts of Northern India.
South Indian Jewelry: Because people have suddenly become aware of the spiritual value of rudraksha, these beads are extensively used in South Indian pieces of jewelry and have become very popular among women throughout India in the form of necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Because rudraksha beads have a spiritual value attached to them, they are usually not worn in legs as anklets.
Costume jewelry: Costume jewelry has its own place in an Indian woman’s heart and it is usually crafted on materials like jute, ceramics and coconut wood. They have intrinsic looks and designs and are marvels of craftsmanship. Any fashionable woman is just mad for it.

Indian Nose ring are one of the most beautiful ornaments to the Indian ladies. I think no other country ladies are familiar with this ornament. It is very traditional one for indian ladies and have belief that it is mediacally good to health also. So many forgein ladies who are visiting India get grace after seeing the indian nose rings. In olden days, they put the indian nose rings on the girls from their childhood. Now a days ladies wearing the indian nose rings at the time of their marriage.
But some ladies don’t want to wear the indian nose rings till the end. More over, in olden days ladies put the indian nose rings on both sides of their nose. But now as fashion changes they are using it one side. That also changes state to state. In some states, they put on the right side of the nose and in some state they put on the left side of the nose. That comes with their tradition. In olden days they use big stud instead of rings on the both sides. With that, some ladies additionally wore a small rings in the centre part also. Now they are using small, very small ones that is on one side only. It can be made with different metals like Silver, gold, pearl platinum, etc… With gold it is worked with diamonds or color stones for extra glittering. To put the indian nose ring in the nose we have to prick the nose to make the hole. So many get afraid of this procedure. For me also, I was afraid for this and postponed the nose pricking procedure. My husband tempted me that if I was ready to wear Indian nose rings he will present the diamond nose ring to me. Then I said ok. Now it adds extra beauty to my face. Not only for me, for every lady it gives additional glow to face and makes the good finishing in jewel wearings. We can remove and change the rings as per our wish. Now I have 5 nose rings in different models. It is good and simple gift article also.
