Bangles in the grand olden days during the Indus valley civilization and Mesopotamian times were made with terracotta, mud, ivory etc. They slowly moved to metals like copper, iron and then gradually to gold & silver. From the time when metal is used in bangle making, gold ruled the order.

Gold bangles initially were made in a plain form; Karigars started redesigning them by carving floral vines and abstract designs on the top of the bangles. Slowly they tried making broad bangles; this gave them a freehand to carve intricate designs. Added to this they also worked on studded bangles which are not only heavy but attractive too. They used different gemstones to stud in the bangles, such as CZs, white stones, rubies, emeralds, corals, pearls, black beads, diamonds and many other precious and non-precious gemstones to enhance the bangles look. This ignited the tradition of matching bangles with the attire.
