Redeemable: Indian Wedding

Indian gold through the years, gold served as a hedge against inflation and the erosion of major currencies, and thus is an investment well worth considering. No marriage in India is complete without a full jewellery set consisting almost entirely gold jewellery with a smattering of other precious metals that can include silver, platinum and diamonds. Over years, as gold gained momentum as a form of security during financial crises, it found its way into bridal jewellery as well. Chandelier earrings weigh exactly 1/2 ounce and as noted the necklaces, bracelets and earrings of many cultures weigh exactly 1/4, 1/2 or 1 ounce . 

Religious connotations of gifting gold to a bride: 

Gold is an integral part of every religious ceremony in the country. Aside of festivals such as Akshaya Tritiya and Dhanteras, when gold is purchased in huge quantities, gold holds connotations for every religious ceremony. Apart from being a popular choice for an investment class, gold in India is gifted to brides and groom during their wedding owing to a plethora of socio-economic as well as cultural reasons. The theory is that the wearer would always wear a half an ounce of gold on them, no matter what the circumstances.
