The Classic Elegance Of Mughal Emeralds: A Treasure As Old As Time

Jewellery is not just an accessory. It is a legacy, an heirloom that is often cherished and is passed down to generations. There is history embedded in these treasures, making them invaluable. This holds for emeralds more than any other precious gemstone. Emeralds have been coveted and adorned by civilisations - from the ancient Egyptians to the Aztecs. Each culture chiselled its unique trace and history on these green wonders.

This legacy was redefined and etched in history with the Mughals. The Mughal era was known for its regal splendour. Spellbinding pieces of jewellery were created and worn by the Mughal rulers. All these were embedded with emeralds. Being some of the largest gemstones in existence, emeralds stood out in their mesmerising glory.

The Infinite Allure of Emeralds

An era has come and gone since the time of aristocracy. Yet, the charm and allure of emeralds have stood the test of time. Women from all walks of life continue to be drawn to this gemstone. Its richness, texture and gleam are nothing less than hypnotic. Today, women flaunt emeralds in different styles and designs. Jewellery designers and studios are also working towards merging the old-world charm of emeralds with modern sensibilities.

From cocktail parties, anniversaries, birthdays to weddings - there are emerald accessories to grace every occasion. Emeralds are truly timeless and blend beautifully with indo-western outfits. Emeralds are also versatile and look beautiful when embedded in metals such as gold and silver. In such pieces, emeralds are complemented with the use of rubies, sapphires and diamonds. So, you are spoilt for choice when it comes to picking an emerald for your next event.
