Nose rings have a rich history, originating in ancient Middle Eastern and South Asian cultures. Introduced in South Asia by the Mughals in the 16th century, they became symbols of beauty, femininity, and cultural pride. Traditionally worn by brides, they were believed to bring prosperity and ease childbirth, with their placement often tied to Ayurvedic beliefs. Beyond aesthetics, nose rings also marked milestones like marriage or coming of age, reflecting social status and regional diversity. Today, they remain powerful symbols of self-expression, blending tradition with modern fashion.
