Is the jewellery borrowed or rented for the wedding or is it purchased and kept? That looks like a quite substantial amount of gold, like tens of thousands of USD worth. If she/they own that, I would kind of classify her/them as rich.
- xbmcuser 8y agoGold jewelry is a big deal is South India. I know of a maid making $4-500 a month in Singapore. When she went back to visit after 2 years took $8000 worth of gold to give as gift to her family members. In other words 85%-90% of her total earnings over 2 years.
- CPLX 8y agoIt’s worth seeing this type of Indian gold jewelry up close. The craftsman are incredible skilled at taking relatively small amounts of gold and making them look bigger, through hollow portions, relief patterns on very thin plate, and similar. Go check out an actual market for this type of gold some time, it’s eye opening. With that said it’s still a lot of gold in that photo, to be fair.
