  • These vintage Indian 18k gold are sold by the pair
  • In India 22k gold (91.7% gold) is preferred, but there are also reasons to use 18k
  • 18k (75% gold) is best when more durability is needed, for example when setting stones, for clasps, and for beads and jewelry that can withstand the rigors of being worn daily, rather than just for ceremonies and special events.
  • In India gold is associated with goddess Laksmi and symbolizes prosperity, wealth, good fortune and general auspiciousness.
  • Gold jewelry is very important in Indian wedding ceremonies, and is passed down through families, although the jewelry designs may be reworked, and change from generation to generation.
