I've so far gathered from my surroundings. I have come here to gather
more information. Here in India diamonds are worn mostly to ward off
evil effects of planets only upon consultation of an expert
astrologer.
Except those sold in engagment rings...


I just checked some of the diamond rings they do not expose the
surface of the diamond to touch the skin check some engagement rings

Astrologically diamonds can be adverse for the owner if it does not
suit him/her. So, I assume jewelry merchants are taking this into
account when manufacturing engagement rings accordingly.

All the engagement rings made of gold and set with a diamond I've seen
on sale in India were made by jewellers after being commissioned.

Gold and diamonds are of such a price that the cost of making the ring
is negligible in an Indian context.

Every middle class Indian woman I've ever met had a jeweller.

Now, about the usual dress of Christian women in India.

Do tell us what it is...
