Varieties of Indian bangles you can choose from


Indian bangles are a rage all over the world. The concept of wearing bangles has been prevalent in India since centuries. Commonly known as ‘choodi’, these ornaments are symbols of tradition, especially  for Hindus. However, thanks to the  beauty they impart, Indian bangles have amassed a huge fan following all over the world. There is an extensive variety of bangles that women can choose from today. Right from the northernmost tip to Jammu and Kashmir to the southernmost tip of Kanyakumari, bangles are designed differently. These ornaments are also made using different materials to ensure people with any budget can buy them.

More often than not, it is Indian bangles made of gold that are preferred by women. Jewelers in India painstakingly develop intricate designs to come up with breathtaking designs that can leave women asking for more. Through the centuries, the market for gold bangles in India has never taken a setback, and even now with the price of this precious yellow metal trending north, the demand for these bangles continues to increase. 
 Gold plated bangles that are made of a silver base are also a hit, especially among those who shop on a limited budget. These bangles resemble their gold counterparts closely and exude the same beauty, however, they cost just a fraction of the price that one has to pay to buy gold Indian bangles. These bangles also are available in varying designs for customers to choose from based on their preferences. The gold plated bangles, or imitation jewelry as they are referred to by a few,  that are being manufactured today can serve well for long if they are maintained well.

Indian bangles are also made using lac (a type of clay), metals, glass and even plastic. However, these bangles are not as famous as the gold bangles and the imitation ones.
