Taking stock of the strange customs of Indians and their extreme love for gold ornaments

There are no surprises in the world. Today, Xiaobian will show you the strange customs of women from all over the world. I believe it will definitely open your eyes.

In India, women cannot go out without a golden nose nail

In India, it is considered impolite for women to go out without jewelry. Among jewelry made of various materials, Indians prefer gold jewelry the most. Indians generally have dark skin colors, and wearing gold jewelry makes it easier to highlight this characteristic. Walking on the street, Indian women have golden ornaments in their ears and necks. Even the little girls begging on the roadside, although they were filthy and disheveled, had a small golden nail on their nostrils.

Gold ornaments are better than clothes

It is also quite common for Indian men to wear jewelry. There are many men wearing three gold rings on one hand, and most of the rings are inlaid with large gems. If a wedding is held at home, parents will generally choose gold ornaments as their daughter's dowry, which not only sets off the daughter's beauty, but also serves as the economic foundation for future life. Relatives and friends will also use gold ornaments as gifts to express their feelings and add to the festive atmosphere.

Gold shops are the most gorgeous

Because Indians attach great importance to gold jewelry, there are many jewelry stores in India. Whether in large cities or small towns, the best decorated and brightest lights are basically goldsmith shops. Walking into such a gold jewelry shop, you will find a row of glass counters about 1 meter high in front of you. Dark blue or black gold velvet boxes in the counters are placed one after another, with various necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and anklets placed in categories. Most jewelry is not won by its small size, but its styles and flower shapes are very conspicuous and heavy. There are densely packed seats in front of the counter, making it easy for customers to choose with peace of mind. Every holiday, the gold jewelry shop is always crowded with people.

The most common jewelry in India is 18-karat gold and 22-karat gold, not 24-karat gold. The reason is that the design of Indian gold jewelry focuses on patterns, the patterns are complex, and the flower shapes are huge. The texture of 24K gold is too soft, which will affect the design and finalization of the jewelry if used.

Gold prices in India are not cheap either. Generally, 22K gold jewelry sells for around 610 rupees per gram, which is about RMB 122). But this will not affect Indians 'love for gold, especially poor people in India, who will buy gold and silver to preserve value once they have savings.
