DESCRIPTION

Thanks to its introduction by the Mughals, Indian women have developed a special liking for this unique ornament that adorns their noses.


Nose rings are produced out of fine gold or silver.


They vary from cute tiny pins studded with minuscule gemstones or pearls to great circular hoops covered with multiple gemstones, pearls, and quality beads. Like earrings, nose rings may be joined to long strings fastened to the hair with tiny hooks.
