INDIAN JEWELRY This picture shows a close-up view of good quality gold jewelry from India. The India custom of wearing jewelry has an unbroken history going back 5,000 years. Women traditionally accumulate silver and gold jewelry as a form of monetary savings that can be used in times of common disasters such as drought, food, famine, political upheaval, etc. Different jewelry designs can identify where a person comes from and even their status within the group.
