For my former teacher on her 86th birthday
I personally love carnelian since I first saw it in the wall panels inside the Taj Mahal.

Jewelry in India is said to be a tradition unbroken for more than 5,000 years, and has been described in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Along with earrings, bangles and necklaces, the casual leather bracelet and anklet are favorite jewelry styles.
Scintillating earrings from India are more popular today than ever. From the traditional to the contemporary, Novica's Gallery of India Earrings has something for every taste. Gold has been a perennial favorite, and our talented artisans craft exquisite gold vermeil designs.
Perhaps because India was a major exporter of gemstones by the 3rd century B.C., they figure prominently in our Gallery of India Earrings. From turquoise and lapis lazuli to carnelian, garnet and chalcedony, colorful gemstones stand alone or mingle in regal studs, dangles and chandeliers. Pearl earrings combine with gold or silver bracelets and necklaces for stunning jewelry ensembles, often worn by Indian brides.
We hope you enjoy exploring our extensive selection of earrings from India. Each design is meticulously crafted for you.
