Jewellery has been an important element of Indian fashion since ancient history. Every market in India has its own share of gold and silversmiths. According to Hindu belief, gold and silver are considered as sacred metals symbolizing the warm Sun and the cool Moon - they are the quintessential metals of Indian jewellery. Pure gold, which doesn't oxidize or corrode with time, is associated with immortality. Other common materials used to produce jewellery include stones, wood, plant seeds and conch shells.
Jewellery in India fulfills many functions and wearing it has several implications. It may serve as a symbol of social status, it is used in religious ceremonies, signifies marital status, protects from evil spirits, serves as an identity marker and - most obviously - as a form of adornment.
