Fine jewellery is a statement of one's personality.
Jewellery is something that touches a woman - the pure feeling of warmth and fulfillment.
It would be a herculean task to describe all the various ornaments with which Indian women decorate themselves. New designs and material have been brought by each successive century enhancing the richness of ancient Indian jewellery and precious stones. Though there are numerous ornaments of gold and silver for each body part, only the principal ones are being mentioned. Ancient Indian poetry depicts a braid to usually show a snake so the choti usually has scales and a hood. In ancient times, the 7 and 5 piece sarpeches were worn by the most powerful of rulers, while the 3 piece kilangis were worn by the princes and less powerful rulers.
