Fashion Blog

I was looking to update my fashion blog but could not find a suitable topic on which I could do a write up. Then I chanced upon a website called pearls of joy (www.pearlsofjoy.com) and immediately I got my idea.

Since the ancient times pearls have been associated with Indian culture as is evident from its reference in the Hindu mythologies (it is specially associated with the Hindu God of moon (Chandra). It is also associated with many mythological animals such as snake, hog, elephants etc.

No wonder the gem has been having a special place in the hearts of Indian women. Even fashion conscious modern Indian women love them as it has varied usage, come in different shapes, shades. It can be used in blangles, nose pins, rings and many more jewelry pieces like pearl earrings, pearl necklaces are very popular with women looking for style. They also enhance the style of many Indian traditional dresses. As far as my experience goes, I often find even men wearing them on rings and pearl bracelet is very common too.

Hyderabad of Andra Pradesh is the centre of Indian pearls where natural (mostly freshwater pearls), cultured and semi-cultured pearls are processed and made finished products by skilled workers who are doing this for generations. According to market source, around 40-50 thousand kilograms of pearls are supplied and sold worldwide from Hyderabad. These days some companies and traders are even offering them on the net at affordable rate as we saw the pearl site I found on the net.
