In India, jewellery is given or gifted for every function and the affluent give also for the festivals.
The baby's jewellery start right from when the baby is in the mother's womb. Not joking!
In TamilNadu, at the seventh month or ninth month of pregnancy a function is conducted for the pregnant girl.
It is called Valaikaapu, valai meaning bangles.
In this function, all ladies in the family bless the pregnant girl, that her delivery and the kid should be safe. In this function all elders put a lot of colored bangles on the pregnant girl's hand. Every lady who is a guest for the function is also given half a dozen of bangles. Special kid's bangles are also ordered for the little girls in the function.
The pregnant girl is supposed to wear all the bangles till her delivery!
One important part of the function is, a particular bundle is given to the pregnant girl.
The bundle contains small baby bangles in black color. She has to keep it careful and when the baby is born they wear on the baby for some days.
The parents usually gift the girl with gold bangles. Recently I attended a valaikaapu of my cousin where she was gifted with these gold bangles and I have already written about with pictures on another blog.
