In Pakistan, jewelry
has one of
the most important role during the weddings. Man usually do not
wear as much jewelry but on the other hand women wear a lot of
jewelry. There is a saying in Pakistan "jewelry make women
more beautiful". So they follow that tradition.
There are different types of jewelry which brides wear during

wear TAJ crown on their heads. The Taj is made out of heavy 24 karate gold and also has diamonds in there.
The second thing is Bindiya that is not in American
culture so
it's hard to explain but, as you see in this picture the piece of jewelry
falling into the bride's forehead and on the back it is usually attached
with either her hair or with her Chaador scarf.
The third thing is called Jhumkay it the bigger
version of the
earrings. That is also made by 24 karate pure gold. Most of the times
they have ruby in them.
The fourth piece of jewelry is necklace. This is
usually the biggest piece of jewelry which bride wears on her wedding. It
is mostly very long sometimes as long as her dress. This carries diamonds
and ruby and is also made out of 24 karate pure gold.
Bride also wears a nice ring which is also either white gold
or regular
24 karate gold and has a very big diamond in it. This is the smallest piece
of the jewelry on the bride. The last part is anklets. That is the most
fragile piece of the jewelry bride wears.
