Assamese traditional jewellery is a beautiful reflection of the state's rich history, vibrant culture, and deep-rooted traditions. Made mostly from gold, these ornaments are renowned for their unique designs, intricate craftsmanship, and symbolic meanings. Assamese jewellery is not just about adornment; it is a celebration of the state's identity and heritage.

The art of jewellery-making in Assam dates back centuries and has been influenced by the various ethnic groups residing in the region. Historically, gold was abundantly found in the rivers of Assam, especially in the Brahmaputra, which contributed to the popularity of gold ornaments among Assamese people. Jewellery artisans, known as "Sonaris," have passed down their skills and techniques through generations, preserving the authenticity of this art form.

Design and Materials :  

Assamese jewellery is mostly handcrafted and often features motifs inspired by nature — flowers, birds (especially peacocks), leaves, and other natural elements are commonly seen. The designs are generally simple yet elegant, often with minimal use of stones or gems. Enameling, known as "mina work," is sometimes used to add vibrant colors to the pieces. Although traditionally made of pure gold, modern versions are also available in silver and gold-plated materials to make them more affordable and accessible.
