Jewellery


The folk jewellery is very popular in Pakistan. It is made of silver. It is found in a wide range and variety in each region of Pakistan. The jewellery of Chitral, Kaghan and Swat is clearly influenced by Graeco-Roman and Buddhist cultures. The neck ornaments are heavy and have a fringe of silver coins or beads. The jewellery in Baluchistan, Punjab and Sind has a definite family resemblance. In Multan, Bahawalpur and Sind, silver ornaments enamelled in light or dark blue, red, black and yellow are made.
