North East Accessories & Handmade Jewellery

Jewellery in the North East is worn as identity. Naga bead necklaces once signalled clan and status, Assamese gold-work pieces like the jonbiri and dholbiri are still made in Jorhat workshops, and Manipuri and Mizo ornaments pair silver and brass with red, black and white beadwork that reads instantly as regional.

In this section you will find handmade bead and shell necklaces, brass and silver earrings, bamboo and cane bangles and bags, embroidered clutches, hair accessories, and contemporary pieces that reinterpret traditional motifs in lighter, everyday forms. Makers list the materials used, the dimensions, and whether a piece is fully handmade.

These are studio and household workshops, not factories, so batch sizes are small and a design may not return once it sells out. Every listing shows the state and district of origin, and each shop is verified by Anaira Avenue before it can publish, so you can trace a piece back to the community that made it.
