Gems and Jewellery of Rajasthan
Gems and semi precious stones are not only used in making
jewelry, but for medicinal purposes. People wear them under
the prescription of astrologers, as it is strongly believed
that Gems and semi precious stones, affect ones future and
destiny.
Jaipur is an unrivalled center for cut and polished gems -
the ultimate place to go for it. Enameled Jewellery, known
as Kundan, is another high precision art of Jaipur in which
gemstones are set into molten gold with extreme finesse. Gold
and silver jewellery is famous everywhere, more particularly
Jaisalmer is for silver and Udaipur for tribal silver ornaments.
