Dating back to ancient times, Terracotta jewelry is considered one of the oldest forms of jewelry in the world. Its history dates back to the Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro civilization. There have been several ornaments like earrings, ear studs, necklaces, pendants, bangles and bracelets found by archaeologists. Clay bangles found in Harappa were colored and well polished.
