Indian Accessories

History tells us that Indians have always valued gold very much and its tradition and culture are deep-rooted in Indian soil. Indian ladies have always exhibited a special passion towards the costly yellow metal and an resurgence of gold is felt in Indian fashion in recent times.

Making a strong and beautiful fashion statement, gold has become a bold, sleek and perfect accessory for the fashion- hunting dynamic modern ladies.

Rigid jewelry is now out of form while rhythm and fluidity have taken its place, i.e. a sort of mobility and flow and craftsmanship have entered in the making of gold ornaments. Body jewels like waist chains, armbands and hairpieces have emerged as the latest fashion trend. Jewels worn around the arm and torso also have attained unprecedented heights in the new fashion world. Today gold can be woven into a fabric like form out of which gold scarves, head ornaments, belts and funky top all worn by ladies are made. For garments in bold and bright colors gold seems to be an ideal accessory.

The traditional temple jewels worn by dancers of yesteryears have made a tremendous return. Traditional jewels teamed with ultra-modern outfits, showing a bold and stylish look, create waves in the fashion parades and beauty contests. Indian gold chains, hanging loosely around the neck and waist decorated with lot of coins, charms and thin pendants are an attraction in this season. All fashion designers admire the gypsy-chic look of the gold coins. Most of the Indian jewels like the South Indian Kaashumalai made up of gold coins are in a terrific revival stage.

Today Indian gold is in an experimental stage with innovative texture and forms, like using beaten or matte gold to make warrior-like jewelry such as gold necklaces and wristbands. These ornaments look very attractive against dark complexioned skin. Also the fashion designers are experimenting with the designs and finishes of the gold ornaments belonging to the Ancient Indian civilization.
