To understand Indian jewelry is to understand these worlds; the people, processes, and beliefs that shape every piece long before it is worn. Rooted in geography, shaped by history, and refined by generations of artisans, India’s jewelry traditions are as diverse as its landscapes.
Each region developed its own techniques, materials, and motifs, influenced by local beliefs, royal patronage, and everyday life. Together, these crafts form a living map of India’s cultural legacy, where every ornament tells a story of where it comes from and the hands that brought it to life.
