These ear ornaments represent the harmonious working together of the three worlds which exist in Hindu belief. The First World is the physical universe, the Second World is the astral or mental plane, inhabited by spirits and angels, and the Third World is the spiritual universe of the Hindu Gods. They would have been given to daughters by their parents before marriage as a display of prestige and as an aid to fertility.
