- The Harappans used a large variety of materials, from precious metals and gemstones to bones and even baked clay, to make ornaments.
- Both men and women wore ornaments like necklaces, fillets, armlets and finger rings. Girdles, earrings and anklets were worn only by women.
- Beads made from carnelian, amethyst, quartz, steatite, etc. were quite popular and were produced on a large scale, as is evident from the factories discovered in Chanhu Daro and Lothal.
