dia, the land of the erstwhile Maharajas, has always been known for its exquisitely designed jewellery. Much has been written of the Royal solitaires and their beautiful settings. Infact the rulers took great pride in adorning their horses and elephants with emeralds, rubies and diamonds as well.
The passion for gems and jewelry is best reflected in the wealth of the last ruler of the southern Indian state of Hyderabad, who by virtue of his jewels was declared the richest man in the world in the mid nineteenth century. With such a rich legacy, it is no wonder that Indian craftsmen, even today are well renowned for their fine work of cutting/ polishing stones and designing jewellery.
Precious and semi precious stones have been put together in elegant and trendy designs.
