Diamond Nose Ring?

Q.Indian jewellery is usually quite good except the nose rings . Secretions pile on it , bacteria infect them , rise up to the sinus and brain and a painful death . The ancients may have used them as a population control measure but they look awful and should be banned by the govt , along with multiple ear rings on the cartilage , studs on the tongues .

A.secretions on the nose ring leading up into the brain to kill you for the purposes of population control. almost strange enough for Bollywood, but you'd have to work in the evil cousin who needs a kidney transplant... Would a gift of a nose ring be considered a more intimate and significant gift than some other articles of jewelry? Just coincidentally I saw a scene last night in the Tamil film "Thillana Mohanambal" that suggests this. Padhmini is offered a diamond nose ring by the oily rich villain, as a tribute after a dance performance. Both P's character and her mother react to this with outrage---even though the mom seems to favor the ORV as a suitor over Sivaji, who is (after all) a mere musician. Good question...I wonder if nose rings might be considered the kind of gift you'd give to a dancing girl or "disreputable girl" (like ghungroos, for instance), that when given to a "good girl" is perceived as an insult, an intimation that she's cheap and low-class. Whereas things like necklaces and bangles are acceptable for "all kinds of girls." That would be my guess...but I've never seen give a nose ring to anyone else, I've just seen similar things re: ghungroos ("Chandni" comes to mind) where depending on the spirit it's given in, it could be a sweet gesture or an insult.
