History repeats itself..... N so does the exotic jewellery designs!!!!!
The bead necklaces of Indus Valley, tilari, panchlari, satlari, kantha and karanphul of Mauryan period are widely worn by the women of 21st century as well....The most common jewel of the historic eras and 21st century is the holy dot on forehead.i.e. the bindi, sindoor, tikka or pottu.............The word 'bindi' is derived from sanskrit word 'bindu' or a dot. In northern parts of India, it has always been compulsory for married women to wear this jewel while in southern regions, it is mandatory for all the girls to wear it....Even men wear kumkum mark on their foreheads during traditional and holy ceremonies. Since historic times, the bride's as well as bridegroom's makeup is considered incomplete without tilak!!!
Another jewel that has been everyone's favorite in historic as well as present times is 'the jewel of the nose'. It is called nath in northren regions and mukkuththi in southern regions. It is assumed that muslims bought this jewel in India.
Jewellery is one of the passions of women and these days, with the influence of movies like JodhaAkbar, all the historic designs have been revived and are in fashion these days. Though artificial pearls have replaced suchcha moti, still beads and pearls are everyone's favorite. These days a wide variety of jewellery is available and each class of society can afford to have a royal feel by wearing the artificial jewellery having the popular historic patterns and designs............
So, the 21st century princess doesnot need to marry a prince to have royal, ethnic jewellery. All the ethnic designs and varieties are open for every rich as well as poor n they can relish the replica of royal Indian flavor of jewelery at low prices too!!!!
