The
unique beauty of the jewellery reflects the cultural
traditions and diversity of the people. Centuries
of tradition are artistically and lovingly moulded
in each hand-crafted piece of gold, silver and other
metallic and non-metallic materials. The 22-karat
gold jewellery is mixed with silver, copper or other
metals. Intricately woven designs are either traditional
or modern. The eastern designs are generally ornate
and studded with precious and semi-precious stones.
Elegant and delicately simple designs that cater to
the international taste and preference are also widely
available. Jewellery is ever popular locally and among
foreigners with a taste for the exotic. Usually crafted
in silver, the chunky designs invariably carry traces
of Greco-Roman and Buddhist influences. |
