The wealth of a
nation is determined by the precious metal and precious stones
natural resources. Whereas the wealth of the population is
determined by the jewelry worn by the populace.
Thus, while Africa
maybe a country that has the richest reserves in diamonds and
other precious metals, yet it is a nation largely immersed in
poverty, as invaders enslaved the country.
India had her invaders who plundered her wealth, but yet Indians
never bowed down and became slaves. They generously gave their
visitors, but did not work for them.

Even the last nation to have colonized
India, took away the Kohinoor which they proudly display in one of their
museums, and we take pride in the fact that their symbol of victory
originates from here. And so, the jewels and jewelry of India has always
been a factor of greed amongst the guests to this nation. They were
awestruck by the fact that people from all walks of life could adorn
themselves. It was an open invitation for the thieves, so to speak.
India jewelry has been widely appreciated across the world. In fact,
most of the western designs are borrowed from the archaic Indian ones.
Designers create newer designs by adopting our original creations.
Yet all said and done jewelry has been the pride of every Indian family.
Their actual status in society has not been determined by the liquid
cash reserves they have, but the ornaments the women of the house wear.
In jest some say that women of India are showpieces of their family
wealth.
Gold has been one of the most essential assets owned by Indian families,
and this is more so because of its constant appreciation. And for those
with daughters to marry of it is essential to stock gold ornaments from
the day she is born in order to be able to marry her off to a
respectable family. Interestingly, gold jewelry from India has a huge
client based abroad because of the variety in designs and patterns.
Even silver jewelry India based has a major demand overseas. In fact,
more than gold because of the affordability factor and the export
license acquisition. And the west tends to prefer silver, as the
consider it to be a neutral metal that can be worn over all their
western outfits.
Today, wholesale India jewelry is not limited to gold and silver, but
fashion or imitation jewelry from here have taken the world by storm in
recent years. This is because of the creative variety the country in
general manages to produce; creating new trends each year.
