The Pink City and Its Jewels
Jaipur, Rajasthan's vibrant capital, has been synonymous with gemstones and jewelry for over 500 years. Known as the gemstone capital of India, the city is home to thousands of skilled artisans who cut, polish, and set stones with extraordinary precision — all by hand.
When you wear a piece of Jaipur gemstone jewelry, you're not just wearing a beautiful accessory. You're wearing a piece of living history.
Why Jaipur?
Jaipur's rise as a jewelry hub began under the patronage of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in the 18th century, who invited gem cutters and goldsmiths from across the world to settle in the city. Today, the lanes of Johari Bazaar and Gopalji ka Rasta are lined with workshops where artisans continue this tradition.
The city is particularly renowned for:
- Kundan and Meenakari work — intricate enamel and stone-setting techniques
- Sterling silver jewelry — 925 silver set with gemstones like moonstone, garnet, labradorite, and turquoise
- Gemstone cutting — Jaipur is one of the world's largest centres for cutting coloured gemstones
The Gemstones of Jaipur
Each gemstone used in Jaipur jewelry carries its own character and lore:
- Moonstone — luminous and ethereal, associated with intuition and calm
- Garnet — deep red, rich in colour, a symbol of passion and energy
- Labradorite — iridescent and mysterious, known for its colour-shifting quality
- Turquoise — vivid blue-green, long used in tribal and royal jewelry alike
Handcrafted, Not Mass-Produced
At Riwaiyat, every gemstone ring and necklace from Jaipur is handcrafted by artisans who have spent years mastering their craft. The 925 sterling silver settings are made to last, and the stones are selected for their quality and character.
Because we work directly with artisans, each piece is unique. You won't find the exact same ring twice — and that's exactly the point.
