Indian Fashion Jewellery and Accessories: Creativity of
Indian Craftspersons with artificial and natural material
Jewellery has been rooted into the Indian soil, not from today, but
from ages that has lent itself to the creative hands of the Indian
craftsmen. Just as Indian traditions have evolved with time, so has
the Indian jewellery. Exemplary designs, precious stones and the
adroit craftsmanship of Indian designers and artisans have given
birth to new line of Indian fashion jewellery which is elegant,
captivating and defines attitude of individuals to make a ravishing
statement in the world of fashion jewellery.
Jewellery making is an art and each piece which is made is crafted
out with well-balanced hands. Here's the exquisite collection of our
rich inheritance.
Kundankari
Inspired by Mughal jewellery, Kundankari is done on gold and
silver jewellery. The beauty of kundan work lies in the precise
setting of stones into kundan and the overall look of the ornament.
Gemstones are set within solid walls of gold. The jewellery
features stones encrusted on one side and colourful and intricate
meenakari on the reverse. This technique famous from Rajasthan
is now being used to make some of the most in demand in the
fashion jewellery industry.
Folk and Tribal Jewellery
Much assorted in India, folk and tribal jewellery delicately worked
with wood, ivory, plastic, bones, beads and shells, is a visual
delight. Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and the
tribal zones in central, eastern and southern India are popular for
ornaments in silver and a particular type of alloy called ‘Pewter’
that intimates silver. The craftsmen explore the use of all these to
give crude and tribal yet fashionable look.
Beaded & Metal Jewellery
The enamel workers of Kangra, Chamba, Mandi, and Kullu are
very famous for their exquisite chunky bead and metal jewellery.
Elliptical anklets, solid iron-headed bangles, hair ornaments and
necklaces known as chandanhaars (a bunch of long silver chain
linked by engraved silver plagues) are some of the exquisite
pieces that they usually make.
Temple Jewellery
Temple jewellery of India is used to adorn the idols of Gods and
Goddesses and the designs have become a part of every
woman's jewellery collection. Traditionally, the jewellery consists
of gold ornaments studded with red and green semi-precious
stones. The designs in solid gold jewellery of Tamil Nadu and
Kerala are made of paisley motifs.◄
Filigree Work
Popularly known as ‘tarkashi’ — a style from the state of Orissa,
Filigree work is done on silver. Twisting the delicate silver wire into
delicate loops knitted in a zigzag pattern, lends this style of
jewellery in an intricate lace like appearance. Inspired by the way it
was done in Greece in ancient times; the work has still maintained
and modified that antique style magnificently.
