Guwahati serves as the silver distribution hub for all of Northeast India, being the sole formal distribution node for bullion entering the Seven Sister states. Assamese traditional silver jewellery features unique designs inspired by flora and fauna — the Junbiri (crescent moon pendant), Gam-Kharu (broad silver bracelet), and silver mekhela-chador accessories drive significant local demand. Fancy Bazaar is the traditional silver trading centre, while GS Road hosts premium retail. Northeast India's tribal communities maintain strong silver jewellery traditions, with Guwahati serving as the commercial gateway for tribal silver craft from Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Meghalaya. The city's strategic position ensures it remains the pricing benchmark for silver across the entire northeastern region.

Silver Traditions: Assamese silver traditions include the Junbiri (crescent moon pendant), Gam-Kharu (broad silver bracelet), and silver mekhela-chador accessories worn during Bihu and weddings. Northeast tribal silver traditions — including heavy silver neck rings, armlets, and beaded silver ornaments from Naga, Mizo, and Khasi communities — converge in Guwahati's markets.
