Sohi’s Temple Jewelry Collection
Celebrate India’s Rich Heritage with Sohi’s Temple Jewelry Collection
That India is rich in cultural heritage is a well-known fact. Moving from North to South or East to West, we come across an unbelievable variety of cultures, languages, dress styles, and cuisines. Just like everything else, the jewelry styles too differ a little from place to place. Of course, all Indians are united by their love for gold, but jewelry designs and preferences can differ significantly.
Temple jewelry is arguably the crowning jewel of India’s rich heritage. It is believed that temple jewelry was first created during the great Chola dynasty of South India, which was one of the longest-ruling dynasties in the world. Temple jewelry, as the name suggests, was used to decorate the idols in temples down south. Just like the temple architecture of South India is a marvel - rich, intricate, and simply spectacular - so is the temple jewelry that was created to celebrate this unique style.
Temple jewelry involves elaborate designs which are intricately handcrafted to resemble the carvings on temple walls. The base metal is gold, and it is often adorned with precious stones to make it dazzle even more. The motifs of temple jewelry are Gods and Goddesses, and elements of nature such as flowers, leaves, and birds.
Temple jewelry is a timeless treasure that is evocative of India’s glorious past and traditions, along with the immense skill of Indian craftsmen. Because of this unmatched legacy, temple jewelry has withstood the test of time and is still a very popular choice of jewelry, especially for brides. No longer restricted to the south, this style is gaining popularity in all parts of the country.
That said, real temple jewelry may not be affordable for everyone. Temple jewelry is traditionally made from gold and stands out because of its large and chunky size. So, real gold temple jewelry can get very expensive.
But that doesn’t mean that the budget-conscious should be devoid of the joys of owning gorgeous traditional jewelry! Sohi brings to you its collection of gold-plated temple jewels which is inspired by the vivid designs of South Indian temple jewelry and is infused with a touch of modernity to offer you gorgeous designs for every occasion and budget.
