Pearl jewellery in Andhra Pradesh is found chiefly in the Masulipatnam region and, to a lesser extent, in the old city of Hyderabad. A variety of products, like bangles, necklaces, rings, lockets, anklets, key chains, ear studs, and figures of deities, are crafted.
The Capital city of the state, Hyderabad is the main centre for pearl trade in India and one of the principle pearl markets in the world. Pearl trade flourished here under the patronage of Nizam's of Hyderabad. The local craftsmen and jewellers are located close to Charminar.
