Silver Jewellery of Chota Udepur




Silver Jewellery
All the Adivasi’s of Chota Udepur wear silver jewellery. Their jewellery is very heavy. A married woman wears jewellery that amounts to more than 1 kg on her body. Her necklace alone accounts to around 500-750 grams. Then is the kada(hand bangle), the anklet and her earrings. Earrings are relatively smaller than all the other pieces of jewellery. The necklace is the heaviest, followed by the kada and the then the anklet.
