The Charm & Popularity Of Bollywood Earrings

What is special about Bollywood Earrings? Before we see that, we should learn little bit about Bollywood and its influence on fashion. Bollywood has been the major reason behind fashion trends right from its inception. Bollywood always influenced fashion trends and became a trend setter every now and then. Certain movies created certain fashion trends. Take a look of over-the-top fashion in the 70s. Bollywood played a big role in spreading the 70s fashion. Fashion changes reflected in clothes as well as earrings. Therefore, we can have a lengthy discussion on the topic Bollywood earrings alone. Heroines adorned different types of earrings and all of them became trend setters after the release of the movies. Manufacturers tried to make them whenever they felt that fashion wear or jewelry caught the fancy of the audience and this inter-dependability continues to flourish.

Combining Indian And Western Elements
Indian earrings are perfect with Indian wears. Traditional wears need jhumkas. Bollywood has tried both western and Indian designs. However, you can see that Indo-western earrings have found more acceptance as they possess the goodness of both the worlds. Indians have exquisite taste in fashion and jewelry. We have rich tradition and rich designs dating back to several centuries. So what we see in Bollywood is an extension of what was already there. The clever thing they did was that they combined the western elements with the Indian elements seamlessly. And that is exactly why they are very popular. There are many Bollywood inspired jewelry designs. Let’s take a look at them.

Transformation of Bollywood Earrings
Over the years, Bollywood has witnessed huge change in the designs. As you know, the designs we saw in 60s and 70s are no longer popular. We have more Indo-Western and Western designs in Bollywood than traditional designs today. They use traditional earrings only in period films (Jodha Akbar, Lagaan etc. are examples). These days we see more western and Indo-western designs in Bollywood. They still create fashion trends. After Jodha Akbar, antique designs were really popular at weddings. People like to mimic what they see on celluloid and that continues to exist.

How Bollywood Popularize Antique Designs

Bollywood has always tried to bring in fusion designs combining Indian elements and western elements and they have been successful most of the time. One can say that there is a whole new division of designs coming from Bollywood. The latest Bollywood film Bombay Velvet has many popular earrings from the 60s. The good thing is that period pieces make forgotten designs popular again. India is rich country as far as jewelry designs are concerned. Bollywood always managed to tap in to this wast potential. Also, we should thank Bollywood for popularizing many jewelry designs from the past.
