History
In Sri Lanka, brides who wear the Osariya (Kandyan wedding saree) on their wedding day decorate themselves with a unique and exquisite variety of jewelry made up of over 20 pieces. The jewelry originated in South India and became popular among women belonging to the royal families during the period of the Kandyan Kingdom. The last Queen of Sri Lanka to have beautified herself with the jewelry was said to have been King Sri Vikrama Rajasinha’s wife.
