    I am trying to identify some gorgeous stuff I saw out in Jackson
    Heights, Queens, New York. There is an Indian community clustered
    there with lots of jewelry stores on Roosevelt Avenue there. I am
    trying to figure out if there is an official name for the type of
    elaborate gold jewelry that is displayed in every window there. The
    creations are beyond gorgeous, really inspiring, very intricate and
    ornate. Most of the time there is no semi-precious used - but there
    are some instances. I am wondering if there is a certain period or
    cultural region it is attributed to like Mughal or what not. I
    really would like to buy some books on that jewelry type for my
    personal eye candy book collection but it would help if I knew what
    to look for. 

    Thanks in advance. Would greatly appreciate any insight!
