Indian Forehead Jewelry

Forehead Jewelry is one which is worn by Indian Brides and Women without missing out on it in marriages. The birthplace of Forehead Jewelry is from India. This jewelry is very different from any other jewelry and is hardly found in any other parts of the world. However, Jewelries worn on hair are also found in Egypt as well. Forehead Jewelry has become very popular and Fashion Designers imitated this type of jewelry very often.

This jewelry is reproduced as differently styled jewelry in so many places. Culturally, another culture that uses more of ‘on hair jewelry’ is the Islamic culture. These are slight variants that are worn on either side of the forehead. These types of Jewelry were used only in Asia and the Middle-East. Most of the Indians prefer Gold and Gemstones. Gold is associated with all sorts of festivals and auspicious occasions.

In Indian marriages and weddings, the bride loves to have jewelry on all parts of the body. She would like forehead jewelry, ear and nose studs, necklaces, toe rings, engagement rings and so much more. The list of jewelry is endless for the Indian bride. Special attention is given to the head and the hair. Maangtika is the one that hangs from the center partition of the hair to the forehead. A small pendant hangs at the end and is rested on top of the forehead.

Brides prefer this type of jewelry only in Gold or Diamonds. Forehead jewelry and the pendant that hangs on at the end are made up of either Gold or Diamond or a combination of these gemstones. They are available in a variety of colors also. You can choose combinations that are available in green, black and blue and red. The chain that rests on the head in the partition is often made of gold and the pendant that hangs on the head is made up of stones.
