The art of Indian Jewelleries is divided into three kinds: temple jewellery, spiritual jewellery, and bridal jewellery. In India, temple jewellery is used as the jewellery adorned by the idols of Gods and Goddesses. Dated back, the statues of gods in India were ornamented with chunky necklaces that were either beaded in strings or filigree crafted, which is difficult. Other ornaments that were adorned by the statues of deities usually included large gems, studded bangles, earrings, big nose rings, and anklets, which were nicely crafted.

The temple jewellery shifted from wearers; the jewellery used to be adorned by the idols and was later worn by the dancers of temples. Slowly, these temple jewellery designs came into fashion and became a part of the Indian Women’s bridal jewellery trousseau. Though the idols were the first wearer of the jewellery, this tradition continued, decorating them with jewellery. It is visible today that the pattern of the jewellery of Indian women is made of the same pattern as worn by the idols. At present, temple jewellery is in trend and is one of the most popular crafts in India. The craze for temple jewellery among women is high, and this can be seen during festivals and other traditional occasions when they adorn them beautifully. They even wear the temple jewellery when Worshiping God as they believe that it is auspicious and good luck to wear them.

In general, temple jewellery designed items like pendants, bracelets, belts and brooches are very popular and in trend among women, especially during auspicious occasions. Those are believed to bring good luck to the people. Though there are many designs, his favourite among them for temple jewellery is Goddess Lakshmi and God Ganesh with an elephant head known to bestow good luck and good fortune. The sacred symbol designs are also in high demand. You will be glad to know that temple jewellery is not only popular among Indian but also among foreigners too.
