Jewellery in India is not only exquisite but very much attractive too. In fact, made to order ornaments have been a norm across the society. Earlier, rich and wealthy people would wear lots of expensive ornaments made from precious metals such as gold, silver, pearls and precious stones while the working or labour class would be wearing minimal trinkets made from copper or other forms of alloy along with coloured beads and so on.
Even today, it is very much worn but its styles and designs have undergone great changes. You will find people preferring to wear fashion and imitation ornaments which are much cheaper and trendy too. You will come across fusion designs and traditional temple designs, pachchikam designs and filigree designs making a comeback.
