Origin of Temple Jewelry !

 

Temple jewelry is a type of ethnic jewelry that is created in the shapes of Divinities. Originally, it was constructed of gold embedded with various valuable stones and diamonds. Rubies, Diamonds, Beads, Pearls, Polkas, Minakari, and Kemp are examples of precious stones. Precious and semi-precious stones are utilized in both cut & uncut form to give the jewelry a classic look. They are now available in a variety of metals such as silver, copper, bronze, and others that are lighter on the wallet. The style of these pieces makes the look so stunning that it may even be worn with a simple dress.

Embedded using North Indian stones such as polki or vilandi, or even gemstones such as Emerald or Ruby, etc. South India is represented with temple jewelry. It is beautifully made jewelry that resembles the massively adorned pillars and richly sculpted walls of several South Indian temples, particularly Thanjavur.

The History of Temple Jewelry: Temple jewelry dates back to the 9th century, during the Chola Dynasty. As the name implies, it was used to adorn Gods and Goddesses in shrines. Gold is the base metal used to create this jewelry. It is fashioned in a variety of designs such as lotus, peacock, gods and goddesses, and so on. The majority of these jewelry is created in Nagercoil, a city in Tamil Nadu.

Temple jewelry, whether earrings or necklaces, provides the women who wear it a regal and graceful appearance. They are now accessible in a variety of formats, depending on the needs of the consumers. Some prefer lighter designs, while others prefer heavier ones. Some can purchase real gold jewelry, while others cannot. As a result, jewelry producers have made them available to consumers (women) in simpler forms and at lower prices (lower than Gold).

To enhance the brightness of the temple chains, expensive jewels such as pearls, kemps, and rubies are employed. In South India, long chains are called as harams, and some of the designs used to enhance the beauty of the strands include chains of gold coins, flowers, rudraksha stones, and Hindu deity figurines.
