I love to travel because it makes life all the more interesting. People are the same everywhere, yet it is interesting to see the different life styles and different cultures. It is amazing to see how they differ in their clothes, food and fashions. What has impressed me most in coming to India is that the jewelry in the west and the east is markedly different. Western Jewelry seems to be made with machinery while Jewelry in the East is hand made with intricate designs. One of the unique jewelries is that which is made with the combination of 9 gems which are supposedly helpful in attracting positive planetary influences on the individual. It is called ‘Navaratnas”. You can get these gems set in a 14K gold ring, 14K gold necklace or even gold earrings. The jewelries I found here are as varied as the people.
Hyderabad is one of the upcoming advancing cities in India and there are people of all faiths here. Hyderabad is also popular for their gold, silver and gemstone jewelries. It is best known for its pearls and gems. Additionally, there is beautiful silk clothing with beautiful embroidery. The other day I accompanied another of my nieces on her shopping spree for wedding clothing. And wow! it was simply spectacular. Most of the shops were dazzling with solid gold jewelry studded with gems and fashionable clothing that were both modern and traditional. India is really a charming country with friendly people intermingling in a traditional as well as modern life style. What amazes me is to see the road filled with pedestrians, cyclists, cars, carts and animals all at the same time.
