Jewellery

We visited the beautiful Jewels Emporium established in 1841 in Jaipur, which specialises in traditional and modern Indian designs. India is known for rubies and emeralds as well as many other precious and semi-precious stones. Above, I am modelling the Star Ruby ring set with diamonds. The turquoise and silver ring is one I have had for years.

We had a tour of the work rooms and saw the design and manufacturing process. A feature design in the process of being set with diamonds. The assemble room was having their chai break when we called in. They also stop for afternoon tea and lunch of course.

The central  medallion design was enamel on gold with cabochon rubies and diamonds in the Indian Kunden style. Weddings call for special pieces to be worn by the bride and groom. Great to see the high end designs in the jewellery market. No free samples for us!
