Jewellery
The Rajasthan, men and women traditionally wore necklace, armlets, anklets, earrings
and rings. With the advent of the Mughal Empire, Rajasthan became a major centre
for production of the finest kind of jewellery. It was a true blend of Mughal with
the Rajasthani craftsmanship.
The Mughals brought sophisticated design & technical know-how of the Persians with
them. The common link was the inherently decorative nature of the Muslim and Hindu
Art. The synthesis of the two cultures resulted in a period of grandeur and brilliance
that dazzled the eyes or foreigners and has passed into legend.
Some of the most charming handcrafted jewellery comes from Rajasthan, with each
area having its own unique style. While the rural women prefer chunky silver jewellery,
the urban women have a penchant for gold. Some of the traditional adornments are
rakhri, timaniyan, bala, bajuband, gajra, gokhru, jod etc.
You can get a perfectly smoothed and highly polished Jewellery for your wedding
day that expresses your grace and charm and makes that day so much special for you.
The blends of contemporary and Western designs will express essence of your flavor.
To look tough and strong, you can make your Jewellery somewhat having rough surface
that will show your flair as well as your attitude towards life.

A quintessentially Indian technique and a speciality of Rajasthan, is the setting

object are first shaped by specialised craftsmen and left in separate hollow halves.
Holes are cut for the stones, any engraving or chasing is carried out, and the pieces
are enamelled. When the stones are to be set, lac is inserted in the back, and is
then visible in the front through the holes....more on
