Jewelry Gifts - Silver Indian Jewellery

In India Jewelry helps to identify a persons religion, caste, social and marital status. It is also the surest form of currency that can be unleashed.
Pure unalloyed silver is too soft and malleable to be worked on. Techniques and processes used for making silver ornaments included wire drawing, hammering, punching, repousse, etching, filigree, granulation, casting, birdi and inlay work.
Despite the simple handmade and basic nature of the tools used by the India silversmith, the finished products is an amazing thing of beauty, unsurpassed in workmanship and skill.

Caftan - Wear it as Evening Gown and Maternity Clothing

The Caftan is typically a man’s garment in its countries of origins. It may be worn over pajama style pants in places like Egypt. The first caftans were generally quite simple, but designs, fabrics and prints became more complex over time. Elaborately printed and embroidered caftans might also be given as gifts.

The Caftan may also be worn by women in the US, where it is typically called a muumuu. It is again, usually not belted and may come in a variety of prints. The caftan in the US may be cotton, cotton/polyester, or cotton gauze. It is usually worn as a housedress, an evening gown, or a maternity dress and some embroidered caftans from India can be used as a party and cocktail dress and can be extremely comfortable.
