Nose Pins

Nose pins or Nose rings have been a part of wedding regalia since time immemorial. This elegant piece of jewellery is not only part of Indian tradition but is a favourite throughout the globe, representing different things in different cultures.

Nose pin and Nose Ring: a glance into its origin

The elegant nose ring was first recorded in the Middle East almost 4000 years ago where it was usually given as a wedding gift, whereby it represented a woman’s marital status.

Gifting gold nose pins was also a part of certain African cultures, where a gold nose pin represented wealth. The size of the ring was directly proportionate to the wealth of the groom.

In India, where it is widely worn, the nose pin is regarded as a fashion accessory, supposedly making the woman more beautiful and desirable. It is believed that the nose pin is worn as a reverence to Goddess Parvati, the goddess of marriage.

From ancient to modern,  the nose piercing trend

How can we discuss the history of nose pins, without mentioning the nose piercing trends of various cultures and times? Here is a snapshot:

As we all know nose piercing is the trend of piercing nose’s skin or cartilage, for wearing the jewellery. Since it was first introduced, nose piercing has been practiced for various reasons by different cultures.

In India, depending on the region and ethnicity of the women, nose piercing is done on the right, left, or even both sides of the nose. Traditionally, the Indian women wear either “phul” (nose studs) or "nath" (nose rings).

Today, the nose stud or ring is not part of any ritual or religion, but a trendy accessory that is used to enhance one’s beauty.
