Ornaments are greatly
prized, particularly in rural parts more as a means of safe-keeping of
money than for decoration or aids to beauty. That is why they are not
artistically made, but just hammered or punched into shape and rudely
engraved. Men hardly use any ornaments but among women they are popular.
Even in this respect fashions have much changed and there is a desire to
imitate people from cities like Nagpur. For children, a number of
bracelets, anklets and necklaces are used. They are of good among well
to-do but of silver among the poor.
