This handcrafted necklace, made of cowrie shells and glass beads, is the traditional wear of Goulu tribe of Nagaland. The state of Nagaland has 17 official tribes and each tribe has its own distinguished traditional wear and ornaments.
It is estimated that the beaded jewellery started more than 70,000 years ago when man first found the beads and gems. Over time handcrafted beaded jewellery started to become a status symbol. Handcrafted beaded jewellery has been made from various types of beads. Typically beads are made out of glass, bone, porcelain, shells, paper, clay, metals, gemstones, ivory, and even wood.
Though little is known about the origins and history of the Naga people, the jewelry and beadwork for which they are known have been considered by some scholars to be the âmost beautiful, elaborate ornamentations of any tribal cultureâ. For the Naga, their ornamentations are not mere decoration â theyâre a part of the wearerâs identity and that of the tribe to which the wearer belongs.
Perfect jewelry for everyday Bohemian / music festival / concert inspired looks, or costumes (ex, 1960's, 1970's, Hippie, Woodstock, Gypsy, Boho, Halloween).
