Gold Bangles
History
Bangles or Chudi are traditional ornaments worn by Indian women, mainly Hindus. They are worn after marriage means marriage. This tradition of the bride will try to get as many small glass bangles to wear on her wedding and honeymoon will end when the last band breaks.
They are round in shape, and, unlike bracelets, are not flexible. The word is derived bungri Hindi (glass). They are expensive and inexpensive materials many as gold, silver, platinum, glass, wood, ferrous metals, plastics, etc.
They are part of traditional Indian jewelry. They are usually borne in pairs, one or more on each arm by women. Most Indian women prefer wearing gold or glass bangles or a combination of both. Cheap plastic bracelets are slowly replacing those made by glass, but those made of glass are still preferred traditional events such as weddings and festivals.
The designs range from simple and complex hand designs, often inlaid with semi-precious and precious stones such as diamonds, gems and pearls. Sets of gold and silver bracelets expensive tinkling sound. Imitation jewelry, tend to a metallic sound when ringing.
Gold Rings
History
A wedding ring is a metallic ring that indicates the wearer is married. Depending on the local culture, it is worn on the bottom of the right or left ring finger. The custom of wearing such a ring has been widely disseminated outside its origins in Europe. Originally worn only by women, weddings became common for both men and women in the 20th century
According to some customs, wedding ring is the latest in a series of gifts, which also provides engagement ring, traditionally seen as an engagement present. This tradition was already in use in ancient Rome and is possibly much older .
Between the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Christians, the exchange of rings technically not a part of the wedding service, but exchanged betrothal.
Wrist Watches
History
A mechanical watch is a watch that uses a mechanical mechanism to measure the passage of time, as opposed to modern quartz watches which function electronically. It is driven by a spring (called a mainspring) which must be wound periodically.
Its force is transmitted through a series of gears to power the balance wheel, a weighted wheel which oscillates back and forth at a constant rate. A device called an escapement releases the watch's wheels to move forward a small amount with each swing of the balance wheel, moving the watch's hands forward at a constant rate. This makes the 'ticking' sound characteristic of all mechanical watches. Mechanical watches evolved in Europe in the 17th century.
Gold Chains
History
Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au and an atomic number of 79. It has been a highly sought-after precious metal for coinage, jewelry, and other arts since the beginning of recorded history. The native metal occurs as nuggets or grains in rocks, in veins and in alluvial deposits.
Less commonly, it occurs in minerals as gold compounds, usually with tellurium. Gold metal is dense, soft, shiny and the most malleable and ductile pure metal known. Pure gold has a bright yellow color and luster traditionally considered attractive, which it maintains without oxidizing in air or water. Gold is one of the coinage metals and has served as a symbol of wealth and a store of value throughout history. Gold standards have provided a basis for monetary policies.
Googles
History
Goggles or safety glasses are forms of protective eyewear that usually enclose or protect the area surrounding the eye in order to prevent particulates, water or chemicals from striking the eyes. They are used in chemistry laboratories and in woodworking. They are often used in snow sports as well, and in swimming. Goggles are often worn when using power tools such as drills or chainsaws to prevent flying particles from damaging the eyes.
Many types of goggles are available as prescription goggles for those with vision problems.The Eskimos carved Inuit snow goggles from caribou antler, and wood and shell, to help prevent snow blindness.

The goggles were curved to fit the user's face and had a large groove cut in the back to allow for the nose. A long thin slit was cut through the goggles to allow in a small amount of light, diminishing subsequent ultraviolet rays. The goggles were held to the head by a cord made of caribou sinew.
Funky Shoes
History
A shoe is an item of footwear intended to protect and comfort the human foot while doing various activities. Shoes are also used as an item of decoration. The design of shoes has varied enormously through time and from culture to culture, with appearance originally being tied to function. Additionally fashion has often dictated many design elements, such as whether shoes have very high heels or flat ones. Contemporary footwear varies widely in style, complexity and cost.
Basic sandals may consist of only a thin sole and simple strap. High fashion shoes may be made of very expensive materials in complex construction and sell for thousands of dollars a pair. Other shoes are for very specific purposes, such as boots specially designed for mountaineering or skiing.

Silver Pendants
History
Silver is a very ductile and malleable metal with a brilliant white metallic luster that can take a high degree of polish. It has the highest electrical conductivity of all metals, even higher than copper, but its greater cost has prevented it from being widely used in place of copper for electrical purposes. Despite this, 13,540 tons were used in the electromagnets used for enriching uranium during World War II .
Among metals, pure silver has the highest thermal conductivity[4] and superfluid and one of the highest optical reflectivity. Aluminium slightly outdoes silver in parts of the visible spectrum, and silver is a poor reflector of ultraviolet light.
