value in terms how much one can pay.
Discussion
on Indian jewellery is incomplete without discussion of gold. Gold is
considered as one of the biggest assets in Indian culture, making it one of the
important materials of which ornaments are handcrafted.
Kundan Jewellery
The pink
city of Jaipur has conventionally been the hub for Kundan ornaments in
India. Dominated by the Rajasthani
heritage, Kundan jewellery came into existence from the period of Mulghal
Empire. It is made by using silver and gold and precious stones occurring
naturally. Sapphires, rubies, diamonds and emeralds are the stones used to
create a breathtaking stroke of vibrant brilliance.
Kundan ornaments
are tremendously decorated with coatings upon layers of precious metals and stone
with complicated joint work. Kundan jewellery is created into rings and hair pieces.
The Meenakari Technique
Meenakari
is an amazing technique utilised to make Indian jewellery by artisans of various
styles. Meenakari technique is mainly used in Rajasthan and many other provinces
of north India. A lot of Meenakari ornament pieces have the ‘great enamel’ work.
Artistes skilled with Meenakar techniques fuse colourful stones and resources
into the metal utilised while crafting ornaments. This kind of jewellery is very much in demand
these days.
Filigree
When it
comes to buying filigree pieces of Indian ornaments, a purchaser
would always look for handcrafted pieces from Orissa and Andhra Pradesh.
A lot of intricate Indian ornaments have some essentials
of the filigree chic. Filigree is an artistic
designing, extremely delicate in technique that is made by cautiously winding
the gentle metal into a meticulous pattern.
It is a
popular style of ornament not because of the creative pattern that reflects in
the piece, but also because of its delicate and elegant appearance.
Empires and Jewellery Styles
The style
and elegances of Indian jewellery does not only vary from one region to another,
but also from one ruling empire to another ruling empire. Every great empire rule
in India has marked its presence in different types of Indian jewellery. Be it
the pieces which were more detailed in designed or more vivid in colour, or craved
from using more or less expensive materials. For example, the Mughal Empire was
well-known for the gemstones, and the Rajput Empire were for gentle carvings.
Modern Indian
jewellery has taken few of cultural and regional features and twisted them into
a new classy artistic style which is liked by urban jewellery fans.
Indian fashion jewellery is much above just
a tool of artistic charm: rather it is a representation of godly lavishness and
material blessings, touched with latest style as well as updated with every passing
time.
