Hyderabad is famous for Stone and Pearl bangles.
We can get many varities of bangles in glass too. I bought many bangles in Charminar's bangle bazar.

In Rajasthan, we bought some type of clay bangles. I am still having it. They make bangles with some type of clay and they draw on that with colours. They paste some beats and stones on that. They gletter like anything.
