In India, the history of jewellery dates back to thousands of years, with beaded jewellery traced back to 1500 BC during the Indus Valley Civilization. The Mughal era also contributed to the jewellery industry immensely. Emperors, empresses, courtiers, and people of high ranks regularly wore heavy jewellery dotted with golds, pearls and precious stones, symbolising richness, beauty and elegance.
Notable gemstones used in Mughal jewellery include diamonds, pearls, rubies, sapphire, topaz, jade, turquoise, to name a few. Intricate stonework and elaborate enamelling were the hallmarks of the Mughal jewellery that infused Indian and Middle Eastern elegance.
