Known for its distinctive designs, fine craftsmanship, and symbolic motifs, Assamese jewellery is not merely ornamental but an essential part of Assam’s identity and legacy.

Materials and Craftsmanship

Gold is the primary metal used in traditional Assamese ornaments, traditionally sourced from the riverbeds of the Brahmaputra.
