Bejeweled India Suresh: Here is a rather well written article on jewelry in India. ============================ By Lavina Melwani ============================= ....."India really is a living museum without walls," says Untracht. "In that one country you have simultaneously going on all levels of cultural development, from the most primitive to the most sophisticated. It's also rare in that it's had a history of at least 5,000 years of consistent production of jewelry, starting from Mohenjodaro. I don't think there's any country in the world that has that kind of record in this field.".... =============================== From glass bangles and silver trinkets of the rural people to the feather and shell adornments of the tribals to the glittering gold and gemstone finery of the wealthy, jewelry has always been an idiom of the social, cultural and religious life of India.....> India, like no other country on our planet, can rightfully boast of an unbroken heritage of jewelry design that spans at least five thousand years and extends back into antiquity," says Oppi Untracht, chronicler extraordinaire of Indian crafts and author of Traditional Jewelry of India. As he notes of its people, "By adorning the visible, material body, they also seek to satisfy a universal longing for the embellishment of its intangible counterpart: the human spirit."..... littleindia.com
