Traditional Indian Jewellery is a vast and detailed publication
covering the rich heritage of Indian jewellery and its significance
in past and present Indian society. Jewellery plays an important
part in the everyday lives, important moments, festivals and
religious aspects of Indian culture. It is not only girls and women
who wear jewellery, but also boys, men, temple statues and even
animals. The book excels in its detailed descriptions, which
accompany the sumptuous array of images. We discover why enamel is
used in the north of India, the origin and significance of gold,
the significance of setting gems in a certain order, and
jewellery's spiritual importance. The book covers in detail the
meaning of the use of flowers and birds in Hindu influenced
jewellery, looking through the eyes of 17th century European
travellers who visited the rich Mogul courts. This publication is
the result of 35 years of research - travelling, studying, and
talking to many people across the entire subcontinent of India, as
well as having had unprecedented access to goldsmiths and
enamellers; being shown techniques known only to one family, which
have been transferred from generation to generation; and being
granted access to beautiful and never before seen Royal
collections.
