These are jewellery that are worn on the plait of girls/ ladies, either when they attain their puberty or during their wedding or during their baby-shower function.
Small girls also dress up for festivals like this. These jewellery above are made of metals other than silver and gold. These are made of maybe copper or brass. Usually very affluent people buy this jewellery in silver or gold. Others all buy that are made in copper or brass.
Some Bharathanatiyam dancers also wear these.
I happened to go to a market in Bangalore, where they had these displayed on false hair. I requested the jewellery store owner and took pictures.
