Traditional Assamese jewellery is completely hand made ,and only specialized hands can do it.This particular design shown here is called JUN-BIRI(means half-moon like jewel)Here jewellery is mostly influenced by nature( e.g. birds,grains,animals) and others by musical instruments (drums etc)and few more by things daily used in an assamese household(japi...a handmade headgear).Here the main frame is silver made and finally it is covered with very thin gold foils or LEAF-GOLD(paat-sun).This particular kind of jewellery are very affordable and easy to maintain...and they go very well with the local attire mekhela-sador.
