The desire to look beautiful and decorate oneself with ornaments is as old as the history of mankind. During prehistoric times, ornaments in grass and twigs adorned the feet, arms, neck and ears of humans. As there was evolution, metals and their utility was discovered and jewelry was fashioned in metals like gold, silver, brass, bronze etc.
Every state of India is characterized with its distinct jewelry style, which is often a reflection of the tradition and ethos of the people inhabiting the given state.
