An over-view of  the history of Gold in India

 The history of jewellery in India dates back to pre-historic times about 5,000 years ago. Jewellery was manufactured in India in different shape and style depending upon the area of  their manufacture. In fact gold was designed for each and every part of the body. This requires high versatility and expert craftsmanship. In ancient times kings and maharajas had a virtual monopoly over the yellow metal. The jewellery, especially the gold came under their prerogative and the kings and maharajas vied with each other to make and own the exclusive variety of gold to be under their sole possession.
