The ruins of Mohenjodaro and other sites of the Indus Valley civilization bear testimony to this craft. India jewelry in different styles, designs and techniques are popular all over the world. Jewelry styles of India differ from place to place. In Orissa and Andhra Pradesh fine silver filigree work can be found while in Jaipur the art of enamelling has several connoisseurs. Mention must be made of silver beads found all over India, especially in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh. Meenakari and kundan styles of jewelry in India are influenced by the Mughals. The notable examples of this style are the chokers and necklaces. The temple jewelry of Nagercoil consists of traditional gold ornaments studded with red and green semi-precious stones. These were used as offerings to the Gods and hence the name. Today, some of these designs are being made in silver and then washed with gold.

Jewelry in India has been an unbroken tradition for over 5,000 years. Such is the skill of Indian jewelers that with time, the real flowers and leaves used by our ancestors inspired them to recreate the gifts of nature in gold and silver.

Handicraft

Handicraft, also known as craftwork or simply craft, is a type of work where useful and decorative devices are made completely by hand or using only simple tools. Usually the term is applied to traditional means of making goods. The individual artisanship of the items is a paramount criterion, such items often have cultural and/or religious significance. Items made by mass production or machines are not handicrafts.
