In a country that breathes folklore, culture, and tradition, accessories become a medium of expression for its people. The Nose Pin, more commonly known as Nath, Nathani, Bulaki, and by many other names in India, is an ornament with deep-seated cultural significance. It is not just an individual identity but a marker of various regions of India. Every region has its specific tradition and design for wearing a women's nose pin. From Nathani, a hoop or ring with a chain extending to the ears adorned in Rajasthan and Gujarat, to the Phul, a flower-shaped stud worn by Bengali women, to the Bali worn in South India, each nose pin tells the tales of women and culture.
While silver jewelery's cultural significance is prominent, wearing a silver nose pin is believed to have several health benefits. These include improving blood flow in the body and stimulating the pressure points on the left nose that directly link to the reproductive system. At Jaypore, we understand the cultural importance and have curated a collection of versatile silver nose pins. Encrusted with semi-precious stones, these nose pins showcase intricate designs that are contemporary in nature but made with traditional techniques. They are not just ornaments but artisanal marvels created to make you look beautiful as good as you feel.
With its diverse styles and meanings, the nose pin's history dates back 4,000 years to the Middle East, where it was originally worn and known as "Shanf." In addition to the Middle East, we can find evidence of the nose pin in other cultures, including South and Central America and Australia.
The history of nose pins in the Indian subcontinent is ambiguous. While the arrival of the tradition of nose piercings and nose pins is more commonly associated with the Mughals, some believe that it started between the 1st and 8th century B.C. However, it was the Mughals who popularized it. They brought with them the fascination and love for art, culture, and architecture. Soon enough, designs inspired by Persian and Arabic cultures were interpreted on women's nose pins.
While the cultural relevance of silver nose pins is immense, its health benefits are equally notable. The nose pin is believed to stimulate the pressure point on the left nostril, which directly connects to the reproductive system. Furthermore, various Ayurvedic texts suggest that it can ease menstrual and childbirth pain. In addition, silver is said to possess anti-microbial properties that kill bacteria, fungi, etc. Moreover, it is said to have anti-inflammatory properties and helps improve blood circulation in the body, thereby boosting a person's overall health.
