Mughal Jewelry

Mughal style jewellery is an exquisite form of adornment that was prevalent during the Mughal era in India. The Mughal emperors were known for their love of luxury and grandeur, and they patronized art and crafts with great zeal. The jewellery is characterized by its intricate designs, use of precious stones and metals, and its association with royalty. The Mughal jewellery collection includes a variety of pieces, from simple earrings and necklaces to elaborate armbands and waistbands. These pieces were made using a variety of techniques such as filigree work, enamel work, and inlay work. Precious and semi-precious stones like diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and pearls were used extensively in the creation of these pieces.

One of the most iconic pieces of Mughal jewellery is the ‘Jhumka’ earring. These earrings are characterized by their bell-shaped design and are usually adorned with precious stones and pearls. Another popular piece of Mughal jewellery is the ‘Haathphool’, which is a hand ornament that is worn like a bracelet but covers the entire hand and is usually adorned with precious stones and pearls.
