Nose Pin Designs Over the Years

• As the years progressed, the designs and styles
  of nose pins took a turn tremendously. In the
  early years, the nose ring designs were highly
  influenced by the royal family and the
  extravagant styles portrayed in their daily life.
  Usually, the elegance and the royalty associated
  with nose pins travelled to the common people and
  saw a drastic change in its style.
• While the royal family were seen wearing diamond
  and gold, the common people usually sported
  pearls and wooden and circular hoops. Although
  the designs eventually became a hit among modern
  women, they had to travel immensely and evolve as
  well.
• In this post, we will explore the history of
  different nose pin designs and see how they
  changed over the years and became what they are
  now. Alongside, we will also discuss the several
  current nose pin designs in diamond and gold that

The Nose Pins Designs of the Early Days

• Now that you have decided to continue reading
  this post, we will start with the different nose
  pin designs that were famous in the early days.
  The classic diamond stud nose pin designs that
  you might have seen in movies with historical
  agenda. For instance, in the movie Umrao Jaan,
  Rekha was seen wearing a diamond solitaire. Even
  a simple ring or a mookuthi, an ornate stud
  shaped of a jewelled lotus or a swan, was popular
  in the early days. However, even then, some women
  preferred contemporary designs that could be
  changed frequently or replaced when they wanted
  to.
• Another type of nose pin that had widespread
  popularity among women was Maharashtrian nath and
  the North Indian latkan or nathani. Both of these
  nose pins are large hoops decorated with natural
  diamonds in different patterns and supported with
  an embellished chain that links to the hair or
  the ear. Today, these type of nose rings are
  reserved for traditional and wedding ceremonies.
  Moreover, in some states of the Himalayan region,
  the septum piercing is adorned with a bulak, a
  triangular ornament that delicately hangs right
  above the Cupids bow. In fact, it has entered
  the mainstream media house where international
  and national stars have been seen wearing a bulak
  on their shows and concerts.

The Upgrade in the Nose Ring Designs

• With time, the nose pin designs of old took a
  turn to display a more relaxed and simple vibe.
  While the single stone stud (diamond or gemstone)
  remained untouched in its simplicity as years
  progressed, other nose rings transformed to
  accommodate a more minimal style. You can browse
  through the timeless designs of nostril jewellery
  that showcase how it has changed in the past few
  years. For example, diamond and gold jewellery
  brands or providers now offer contemporary styles
  that resemble nature or stars or simply any shape
  that appeals to the women of today. Many times,
  you can see girls and women wearing gold nose
  pins with studded tiny diamond stones that make a
  pattern when combined together. Even playful and
  colourful gems make for an ideal addition to
  simple nose rings to bring out the quirky and
  eccentric design of the jewellery to the fore.

Traditional Nose Pins and More

• For traditional appearances, you can still rely
  on the designs of the early days as they carry
  much weightage over the modern nose pin styles.
  However, if you wish to use a fusion of modern
  and ancient models, jewellery designers have made
  that possible as well. Intricate designs with
  gemstones and diamond that resemble the nath that
  is popular among women in North India brings to
  you the best of both worlds. Some of the modern
  styles also feature nose pins that do not require
  piercing they rather work as temporary nostril
  jewellery that you can wear on certain occasions.
  
• In any case, whatever be the choice of your nose
  pin, it is evident that this small piece of
  jewellery still carries a huge part of Indian
  tradition in itself. Although it has changed in
  design and style over the years, the tradition
  and sentiments associated with the jewellery
  remain true and unchanged in every state of India.
