Indian ornaments, have a variety of design and style, both traditional and modern days. Women of India love to wear jewellery on different occasion of the life as means of rituals. Ornaments are not only worn for looks,prosperity and status but also for good health.Have you ever thought why do we wear ornaments?Answer is the matter, of which these ornaments are mode of and they are either Silver, Gold or Copper in some cases. All these are metals and they are superior in one specific property, that is Thermal Conductivity.
Thermal Conductivity is a property of material to conduct heat, here is the list of Thermal Conductivity of various metals at room temperature i.e. 25°C
As we see, ornament metals Silver, Copper and Gold tops the list, that means these three metals are the winners of the game when it comes to transfer heat.
Here are some important roles played by these metals when shaped into beautiful ornaments
Necklace
A necklace is worn around the neck and covering the region around heart and lung,keeping the domain unaffected from outer environment and also functioning as heat extractor like cooler fan provided with Intel Microprocessor inside your PC.
Belly Chain
belly Chain, also known as Kardhani is placed around the part of body where most of heat is generated, that is around our digestive system, hence facilitating the overall digestion process specially for underdeveloped digestive system of a newborn. It is also helpful for burning extra fat around the belly. Do you know? A U.S. Patent was issued for using belly chain as a continuous monitoring device to facilitate weight loss, some of which are available in the market.
Maang Tika
Its an ornament worn on the head so that the hanging pendant places itself over the forehead and makes women more beautiful. Its also symbolizes the Indian bride,it controls the heat of our forehead thus working as a heat extractor to keep one's brain functioning in favorable conditions by keeping it cool.Anklets
An anklet, also called ankle chain, or most commonly Payal, is an ornament worn around the ankle. since blood vessels are very close to the skin at shin (thats why we feel colder at that part of body in winters), anklet located below it transfers heat from lower part of body to earth.Anklets are an important piece of jewellery in Indian marriages it is believed that it extarcts negative energy from the body. An interesting thing about anklets are that in eastern cultures, particularly India, anklets are worn on both ankles. In the west they are normally seen worn on one ankle.
Some other ornaments such as, Ring, Toe Ring, Bangles and armlets are useful in blood circulation concern whereas Nose Ring is helpful to breath regular and comfortably.
When it comes to our metal trio (Silver, Gold, Copper) except of their biological advantages listed above, these are also excessively used in modern compact devices such as smatrtphones and laptops due to their excellent electric an well as heat conductive (to cool down easily) and ductile properties.
