It is now being considered as an item with a considerably high export potential. jewellery is commonly made of materials such as metal, shells, wood, cloth, sequins, glass, beads, horn, bone, lac, leather, etc. These materials are used in different combinations to create various kinds of artistic designs. A considerable amount of time, effort, creativity and precision is invested in the preparation of such jewellery, as most pieces have intricate workmanship. Bracelets, bangles, earrings, necklaces, rings, pendants and cufflinks are the commonly available forms of embroidered jewellery., the base of the jewel is made of cloth, leather, metal, wood or lac. In the last three cases, the base is covered with cloth. Embroidery is done on the cloth, using colourful threads, so as to create attractive pieces of jewellery. Silver and golden threads are also made use of, to add to the elegance of the jewel.
