Jewelry Boxes For Women: Stupendous Indian Royal Designs
If you could go back in time, one of the things that would be worth seeing is the jewelry boxes for women of the Indian royal families. India's tryst with jewel making is one of the oldest and goes all the way back to the Indus Valley civilization. At those times, gold earrings, necklaces as well as bracelets were already made.
In the jewel making history of the nation, the Mughal Empire was considered the most important. Believed to possess divine powers, the Maharaja was central to the functioning of the state. And that was why it was believed that only he was worthy of wearing a lot of jewelry.
The most popular of jewelry forms worn by the Maharaja was the Navratna (meaning nine gems). This was an amulet made of nine precious stones. Diamond, pearl, ruby, sapphire, emerald, topaz, cat’s eye, coral, and red zircon are the nine gems.
Of all these, the diamond is believed to be the most powerful and has been cut in many ways. Mughal Emperors gave a great deal of importance to diamonds. They believed it to be a road to immortality and even had their names and titles and carved.
Turbans were adorned with these and even used in the making of rings, necklaces and amulets. The kings' rings were inspired by European styles especially from the Renaissance period. Thumb rings had a common pattern of a scrolling leaf on the inside.
This was a time when turban jewelry made a debut. The jewelry of Emperor Akbar was a mix of Iranian as well as European cultures. Kalghi or turban plume created out of gold threads and also found in Safavid paintings were made at this time.
The king wore necklaces that were made only of pearls, sometimes mixed with gemstones and gold and sometimes of all elements. When Jahangir ascended to power, turban plumes had a heavy stone of pearl or ruby attached to it. The emperors of those times even had gold slippers to wear.
Medieval accounts tell of kings from Tanjore who wore minimal clothing that was completely covered with jewels. The King of Maabar in fact, wore just a loin cloth that had a lining of emeralds, rubies as well as sapphires. He also possessed a necklace of 104 pearls that would come down to his waist and had rubies woven into them.
Many styles have come about thanks to the attention given to jewelry among Indian royalty. The Mughals brought about the Meenakari and Kundan styles. Human head beads and funnel-like designs were some of the designs by the royalty among the Nagas.
In the trousseau of women, jewelry played a huge role. Women came to their husband's palaces with jewelry boxes made of marble, lacquer, onyx etc, filled with their jewelry. The jewelry cases were further decorated with hand carvings, precious stones etc.
Jewelry is still central to Indian cultures. It is essential to every auspicious occasion.
