The accessories worn by the community include bead necklaces, bangles, earrings, toe rings, ear cuffs, and so on; each of them with unique traditional grandeur. Nagas jewellery is hence remarked as the most elaborate and beautiful accessories worn by Indian tribal communities.

Tribal ornaments ornaments are usually crafted from raw materials of humble origin like seashells, conches, tusks of animals, glass beads, ivory, corals et cetera.
