Second : Collection of silver jewelry consisting of many large 
and beautifully wrought pieces worn by a lower caste. 
Third : Base metal jewelry, worn by the lowest caste only. 
The gold jewelry is from the cities of Delhi, Bijapore, Gujarat, 
Gwalior, Rajputana, Amritsar, Jeypore, Baddhi, Muttra, Bombay 
and Goa, with some excellent examples of Brahman work. 
The Delhi jewelry consists principally of necklaces and head 
ornaments of gold set with diamonds, pearls, rubies, emeralds, 
garnets, turquoises and crystal, is characterized by the great 
number of pearls used, and the frequency of small emerald pen- 
dants as decorations. 
The jewelry of Gujarat is characterized by the large quantity 
of gold and small number of jewels used. 
That of Rajputana resembles the jewelry of Delhi, but is 
heavier and less delicate. 
In that from Jeypore is an abundance of enamelling. 
That of Baddhi is distinguished by the number of small gems 
used, one necklace containing 492 rubies and 82 diamonds. 
The necklaces of Kathiawar greatly resemble those of Delhi 
though containing less enamel. 
The jewelry of Bombay is remarkable for the few gems used 
and the great delicacy and artistic feeling shown in the gold work. 
The collection of silver jewelry contains many beautiful 
designs and fine examples of the ingenuity displayed by the orien- 
tal silversmiths in joining together the simple parts which united 
make a symmetrical whole. 
The jewelry of base metal worn by the lowest caste while 
quite heavy is artistically designed, the ornamentation differing in 
great degree from that employed in silver and gold work. 
The silver work is from the cities of Gujarat, Rajputana, 
Amritsar, the Deccan district, Lahore and Bombay. 
The jewelry of base metal is mostly from the State of Gwalior. 
This collection also contains two large and handsomely 
designed maces of solid silver which were carried in advance of a 
Maharajah by his attendants on all state occasions. The most 
prized possessions of a Maharajah are his maces. He may lose 
his jewels, his money, his lands and his friends, but very seldom is 
he willing to part with the emblems of his authority, consequently 
very few maces have ever been brought out of India.
