Temple Jewellery Bridal set

It is predominant in South India owing to its origin speculated to be during the Chola dynasty.

These jewels were created to resemble the intricate beauty of the temple architecture and designs. These handcrafted jewels were made out of pure gold with various precious stones like diamond, ruby and emerald etc. encrusted in it. These jewels adorned the Deities in the temples and the similar looking replicas were worn by the classical dancers performing in the temple grounds. The women of royalty also decked themselves up with temple jewellery from time to time. As time passed, lot of people started including the temple jewellery in their personal jewellery collection and today it has become a piece of religious importance and in many cases it is also the heirloom passed down from one generation to another.
