As one moves to adjoining Chamba, Kulu and Himachal Pradesh, jewelry does not much differ from Kashmiri jewelry. But further in Punjab, jewelry takes a distinct style influenced by the adjoining Muslim culture. Here the necklaces have uncut stones and pearls in abundance along with Kundan setting. Robust jewelry is a hallmark of Punjab.

However, jewelry in nearby Rajasthan is different from other styles in India. Their bangles are broader, with ivory, bone and lac used extensively. The foot jewelry here has more chains and beads. Hair and head ornaments, girdles and key chains are given great importance and chase work takes the place of repousse work on broader surfaces of jewelry.

While in Rajasthan one cannot overlook the beautiful Kundan and Minakari jewelry, which is a speciality of Jaipur. Typical kundan jewelry of Jaipur has a beautiful enamelled design on the back and this art of enamelling of the Jaipur style is much superior to what is found in other regions of India. Jaipur jewelry uses cut stones or beads of precious stones like emeralds, rubies, garnets etc. Enamelled beads are also a special feature of Jaipur jewelry. Two types of enamelling, namely - cloisonné and champleve encrustation are popular in Jaipur and their luster and color are as bright as the real precious stones. Enamel work is done on both silver and gold jewelry in Rajasthan.

As one travels to Saurashtra and Gujarat from North India, it is easy to notice that the Kundan setting becomes heavier. More rounded and square forms replace the elegance of Jaipur jewelry. However, the pendants, bangles, gauntlets and armlets are similar to those that are prevalent in Rajasthan.

In Saurashtra, the men folk, amongst the peasant class wear the same jewelry as the women. The women here use numerous ear-ornaments and plenty of finger rings.

The jewelry of Gujarat is made of chopped and beaten gold using beads of pure gold of Hexagonal or Octagonal shapes, often solid or sometimes filled with lac and strung in one or more rows. Here repousse work is more popular than chase work.

South India

The jewelry of Southern India (Tamilnadu and Andhra Pradesh) is very different from the North. The workmanship is finer, rubies and diamonds are used abundantly and the setting uses a frame into which the gems are enclosed and gold foil used underneath to give the jewel a greater luster. In this region, chase work is also employed.
