Long hair jewellery


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.

My first e-book on kindle on Terracota jewellery

Elated and excited about publishing a book on kindle. A long time dream come true.

It has been a dream for so many years to publish books. But I was ready with the manuscript on Technical writing. But somehow never had the guts to do it.

Last month, my son suggested that I publish on kindle. Immediately I started to write on Terracota jewellery. Was waiting to finish few jewellery. My friend Uma helped in completing the jewellery and we took pictures of it.

I would like to thank all my blog readers. Without your viewership I would not have had the confidence to write. Now more confident to write on silver jewellery too.


The title is " How Terracota (natural clay) jewellery is made in India." kavitha balakrishnan

Peacock and Pearls

Peacocks: Another common bird that you will find in our Indian Jewellery.

Made these jewellery with polymer clay. Loved it.




Temple jewellery - Lakshmi Pendant

Lakshmi Antique Pendant and Necklace.

Who does not love to wear this necklace.

In our state, almost all women love to wear this pendant as Goddess Lakshmi (the deity embossed on the pendant) signifies wealth and prosperity. There are big malas with lots of Lakshmi embossed coins strung together. These are a delight to wear and see. It is generally worn by the bride along with other jewellery.

Nowadays everyone wears it to the weddings. Its best when it is worn as the only jewellery.

So made one today.
