The earliest known jewellery pieces were found in the remains of the Indus Valley civilization. The people living during the Indus Valley era were famous for making necklaces and bangles out of natural materials like wood, ivory, precious stones and so on. Throughout history, jewellery has been a part of the Indian attire, and even men used to adorn jewellery pieces to mark their prosperity. It is because of this tradition and love for jewellery that traditional Indian jewellery designers recognize nearly 16 types of jewellery pieces for women. Specific pieces of jewellery for women in India are not only a mark of their social status, but they also signify their marital status. So, without wasting much time, let’s take a quick look at the types of jewellery pieces that are popular in India.
Different Types of Jewellery Ornaments
There is a wide range of jewellery ornaments available that women can use to accessorize, amp up a simple outfit or simply accentuate their beauty.
Maang Tikka
Maang Tikka are traditional Indian jewellery pieces, which are designed to adorn the parting of a woman’s hair. In some parts of India, a maangtika is a sign of a woman’s marital status and is generally gifted to her by her in-laws. Maang tikas come in different design styles, and each style has a different name, there are maangtikas with one single pendant, which is attached to 3, 5 or more chains, which cover a woman’s head. Such maangtikas are generally termed as part of bridal jewellery and are used to add some regality to a bride’s look.
Earrings
Earrings are probably some of the most popular jewellery pieces available in the online and offline market. They can come as a part of gold, silver, diamond, platinum or artificial jewellery sets. Additionally, they can also be sold as stand-alone pairs. Ear-piercing is a serious cultural activity, and while most young Indian women get their ears pierced quite young, there are several subcultures in India, which also encourage their sons to get their ears pierced. Earrings come in a wide variety of designs which range from studs to temple-style chandelier danglers. Additionally, while men used to wear danglers in the past, today, jewellery for men usually consist of gold, silver, platinum or alloy-based studs with precious stones, glass beads or American diamonds set in them.
Nose Pins
Nose piercings have again been popular among women for ages. In some parts of India, a nose piercing is a must, as the traditional nose rings, also known as a “nath” is an integral part of matrimonial rites. In fact, the nath is treated as a rite of passage. Nose pins also come in several designs, they can range from simple push-lock studs to intricately designed loops (nath) with chains, which are lodged in your hairdo, so that the nath could remain in place. It should be noted, that certain classical dance forms, also require the dancer to wear a nath as it enhances the beauty of the character, the dancer is portraying.

Necklaces are again extremely popular pieces of jewellery. They can be a part of jewellery sets and can also be used as stand-alone pieces.

Even mangalsutras can be considered as necklaces, and in nearly all parts of India, a mangalsutra has a sacred place in a married woman’s life.
Bangles
Bangles are another type of diverse jewellery pieces. Bangles can be made of several materials, ranging from glass and lac to precious metals like gold or platinum. Bangles generally, come in sets, a set of two large bangles with detailed and intricate design is known as a kangan set. Kangans have a special place in traditional Indian attire, they are a sign of prosperity and prestige. Other bangle sets generally contain a minimum of 6-12 bangles per hand, and these bangles can be in a single colour or they can come with a design sequence of their own.
