Since time immemorial, jewelry has been an integral part of the Asian practices, more so in the wedding ceremonies. During the early civilization, the people traded with valuable minerals such as gold, silver, bronze and other items, some of which were discovered at Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa. Ornaments were normally made by skilled blacksmiths from the Indus valley and sold to the markets in India and Pakistan. In those times, there was much golden bridal jewelry in the form of necklaces, bangles, earrings, brooches, rings and so on. Other than gold and other related metallic items, wood, stone and conch stones were also popular for making jewelry of various forms.
