Indian jewellery has a long and prestigious history, dating back to thousands of years now. One of their oldest references traces back to 1500 BC during the Indus Valley Civilization. Many cultures and traditions have their respective influences on the country's bridal jewellery designs. The Mughals, for example, heavily contributed in this area. The Mughal emperors, empresses, courtiers, and people of high ranks loved to adorn themselves with various types of gorgeous pieces of jewellery with heavy stonework and elaborate enamelling, symbolising richness, beauty and elegance.
