Abstract

People have relied on personal ornaments, more generally known as jewellery, for hundreds of years to meet their basic needs. Jewellery predates modern humans as a genuinely universal type of ornament. Necklaces, rings, and bracelets are examples of jewellery that are made of or contain gems and metals. This research is about the araimudi of Tamils and caping of Malays. Caping, which is classified as jewellery, is a disc worn by children, especially in Peninsular Malaysia. Caping was first used in India, where it was known as araimudi. Indians are thought to have brought caping to this country as early as the Sri Vijaya era. The caping used by Malays has influences from the Hindu religion
