The state’s rich tradition of manufacturing gold jewellery dates back to several centuries.

The jewellery is typically hand-made, and the designs mostly depict floral and fauna treasures of the region. Traditional designs of Assamese Jewellery are simple but decorated with vibrant red gemstone, ruby or mina. Black, red and green colors on gold jewelries are most favorites among the buyers; these colors also dominate the traditional dresses of tribes and communities of the northeastern states.
