Indian Antique & Mughal Jewellery

The influence of Jewelry is visible throughout our history, as illustrated in our ancient scriptures or images of Gods and Goddesses that have been adorned with it over the centuries. The abundance of jewelry on the sculptures of the Gandhara and Gupta period epitomize this exquisite craft. Over the times Rulers have used jewels as statements of power and prestige. The most significant being the era of Mogul patronage which brought about a distinctive change in the style and art of jewelry making.
Highly sophisticated type of Stonework, Kundan, Enamel and Inlay that has the historic aura associated with jewelry which only kings and queens once wore, is what makes it so attractive. The royal touch of yore speaks volumes of its popularity.
