Gold, as elsewhere, has always been extensively used for rings and other mountings of gems. One cannot even avoid noticing, the ancient Indian male sculptures, fully adorned with jewellery. The Vedic gods are constantly described as wearing ornaments made of gold, since, the male figures often represented gods, and their costumes & adornments were undoubtedly modeled on those of the royalty and nobility of those times. The Kronos earrings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides striking evidence of this the finest pieces of early Indian jewellery known to date. Their excavation place is not known but it has been pointed out that the Chakravartin (World Emperor) on the famous relief from Jaggayyapeta in eastern Andhra during First Century BC wears very similar earrings. This gives a clue, as to why none of the bulky jewellery depicted in the stone sculpture has survived. The connection here between these massive earrings and royalty (the lion and the elephant are royal beasts) suggests that few such sumptuous pieces were ever made. However, most of the information about gold used in ancient India is derived from either from the excavated material from early sites with relatively rare gold jewellery and the visual record provided by countless carved or, more rarely, painted, representations of richly adorned gods and goddesses from the third to fourth centuries BC onwards.
