Ghaziabad, India (prHWY.com) February 5, 2013 - In India, the status of jewelry is not restricted to merely its ornamental value. A cultural and social significance is attached it. For instance, the bangles, nose rings, and toe rings of an Indian woman signify her marital status. Various ornaments were also gifted in abundance to brides because its easy convertibility to cash ensured that, should hard times fall on the bride, they could be sold for cash to bail out the family.
