Naak phul or the nose ring a simple small piece of ornament
that is worn as studs by piercing the skin on sides on the nose. Traditional
nose pins were not limited to size and we all know the nathni or nath of the Marathi culture. The big pearl
and stone studded nath of the Muslim culture is also quite famous as an ornate
piece of jewellery.
The symbolism of wearing a nath was that the women wearing
this were married and belonged to a male and was not available for marriage. Usually
Bringing nose pin and putting this jewellery also projected that the lady was
selected as a mate partner for marriage. In Marathi culture the mujra walis or
dancers from dance groups also were gifted nath from rich business men or lords
and this symbolized they were booked by these rich men to perform for them only
and not available for others. While these rich men provided for support and
expenses of these dancers it was a symbol of
honor among the group provided for them.

The nath was worn by married women during marriage rituals
or functions and festivals along with the nav vari, 9 yards, saree. Even today this beautiful piece of
jewellery exists, though in many different
forms and designs. Traditionally this beautiful piece of jewellery
consisted of gold metal studded with pearls and precious gemstones, especially
red rubies. You will still see these big nose pins with our grandmas who have
special sentiments attached with these
nose pins, as these were carried along generation after generation and handed
over as family heirloom jewellery.
Muslim culture nath were
beautiful with pearls and gemstones. Queens wore gold nath and this was
an important part of the jewellery of any bride. While Rekha has worn
traditional jewellery as a dancer in the film Mukkadar Ka Sikandar opposite
Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai has again flaunted the traditional Muslim
Libas, Anarkali dress worn in Hindi movie Umrao Jaan and the traditional nath,
these ornaments have taken a special place in the Muslim culture. These were rings large enough of size of
bangles studded with gemstones and pearls. This heavy piece was connected with
a chain of gold with droplets of gold, gemstones or pearls to the back of the ear hair
or the ear rings with a hook.

Funky nose pins now rule
our jewellery boxes from diamonds to rubies, pearls and the reasonably priced American diamonds. With
the simple small single gold or silver ring worn around as nose pin looks quite
cool and also highlights the face, there are also nose pins that have fancy
motifs and floral designs on the top. These may have images of flowers,
elephants, peacocks or other
mythological motifs.
Latest we hear modifications in nose pins are just about any
ear ring that is funky or stone studded
can be singly worn as a nose pin. Go in for light weight nose pins as we do not
want a nose skin tear by wearing heavy jewellery and the skin around the nose
is delicate and soft.
Ladies even wear stickers or jewel studded disposable nose
pins that are stuck as stickers which can be worn and thrown after every use,
great idea for those who do not want to
invest in a nose pin or just want to try out the look of their face wearing a
nose pin. Nose pins having gold or silver studded with white diamond is the
most common form of nose pin, which varies with larger patterns and designs
having small and tiny diamonds with two or more multi colored stones nose pins.
Nose pins sure highlights the face and brightens and
accentuates the facial tone. Even a single piece of traditional motif
jewellery, a nose pin is sufficient to be the centre of attention. Wear bold
designs in light weight nose pins and do away with heavy chokers and earrings.
Be careful while selecting traditional heavy gold nose rings and in case you
wish to wear this piece of jewellery in your marriage do wear it, try it, many
times before the final occasion, you do not want people to see a swollen big
red nose the next morning!
