STONE JEWELRY

Gemstones are the soul of costume jewelry. They have been used since the ancient times, to beautify jewelry items. Their colour, lustre, cutting style and rarity, is what sets them apart from other mineral crystals and defines their value. Also, their extraordinary healing powers are not hidden from the world.

Further, it is said that it was India’s rich gemmological reserves that fascinated the Mughals to set up their empire in India. In the Mughal era, the stone craftsmanship prospered in all parts of India. Many new forms of gemstones and semi-precious stones were used to create glorious jewelry pieces to compliment the royal family’s day to day attires. However it was during the Victorian empire patronage that India emerged as a trading hub of precious as well as semi-precious stones which were immaculately set in to create marvellous stone studded-jewelry items.

Even today India produces some of the finest gemstone studded jewels in the world.
