All those women who wear multiple bracelets and rings is a mugging waitng to happen. I stick by the rule of thumb. No more than 7 pieces of jewlery at once. Sad to say, gold will be the future.

Gold is the best word for G, however g also stands for greed and in local dialect 'gago', do you already know that.

True ...The gold jewelry is really heavy and chunky. True in Indian communities gold is passed on from mother to daughter and mother-in-law to daughter-in-law. It is considered an asset which remains within the family..... whose price will increase over a period of time and can be passed on thru generations. <br /><br />The sad part is that the girl has to wear the asset on her wedding day. I don't think any woman bothers with it after that day and it again resurfaces for the next passing on wedding.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853251401928746903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685880837517606009.post-58733964135845039232012-01-06T10:50:08.925+08:002012-01-06T10:50:08.925+08:00Wow!
