Bridal Jewellery - Ottiyanam

Ottiyaanam

This is an ornament that is worn by the bride on the waist. Again a wedding jewellery. Very heavy and ornate work.  Mostly you will find the Eight Lakshmi Goddess repousse work on it, embedded with red stones or ruby stones.

Now with the fashion changing, lighter thinner ones have come into the market, but still for weddings the bride wears the heavy ones. Again this depends on how affluent the family is.
