Bangles and Bracelets : The armlets or bracelets were commonly worn by men and women of the Sunga Period. They seem to have been made of gold and encruseted with precious gems. The bracelets were known as valayas. According to the treatise Gathasaptasati, it was considered auspicious for married women to wear valayas.
Bracelets seem to have been named after
the material employed to make them and, sometimes, even after the workmanship.
For example the ratnavalayas were the
bracelets set with precious stones, while the sankhavalayas were made of
conch (shankha) and the jalavalaya were bracelets with perforated workmanship. Bracelets made of ivory were also in vogue.
