Since ancient times, payal or anklet has been an important jewelry for Indian woman. Even today this piece of traditional jewelry has not lost its charm a bit. Payals are still one of the most important fashion accessories of modern Indian women. Silver payal in exquisite carving is one of the most popular and traditional gift for new born girls. Small tinkling bells are usually added to the baby payals so that when little girl learns to walk she delights everyone with the chham chamm of her payal. Attachment of young girls with payals is formed quite early thus and remains for life. Heavily crafted and designer payals are an important part of Indian bride s jewelry. Traditionally, the new bride announces her arrival in her husband s house with the tinkling sound of anklets. ostly, Hindu women prefer to wear payals made of silver and not gold. This is because Indians believe gold to be the metal of the gods and is therefore sacred. To wear it on the feet, the lowest part of the body, is considered to be an ill-omen and disrespectful.
