The adivasisare a huge fan of ornaments, especially chunky metallic jewelry. The range consists of various types of earrings, chains, chokers, bangles, anklets, toe-rings and hair ornaments of traditional design, some highly priced and some other cheaper. Silver ornaments are sometimes coated with enamel work, which gives them an attention-grabbing look. ‘Hansuli' (necklace) and anklets of clove shape are some of the distinguished pieces. The anklets are usually made of silver beads and cast in one piece that is called ‘lauangkasauthi’. These ornaments are as popular among the men as they are with the women. Tikamgarh, Jhabua and Sheopur-Kalan are the hubs for this art.
