DESCRIPTION
Thanks to its introduction by the Mughals, Indian women have developed a special liking for this unique ornament that adorns their noses.
Nose rings are produced out of fine gold or silver.
They vary from cute tiny pins studded with minuscule gemstones or pearls to great circular hoops covered with multiple gemstones, pearls, and quality beads. Like earrings, nose rings may be joined to long strings fastened to the hair with tiny hooks.

MUGHAL IMAGES
The Mughal Images immediately took a much greater interest in realistic portraiture than was typical of Persian miniatures. Animals and plants were the main subject of many miniatures for albums and were more realistically depicted. To upload your images click here.
