Gem Palace, the oldest high jewellery company in Jaipur, opened its doors in 1852 by the Kasliwal family - once the jewellers to Moghul emperors. The shop has everything from coffers of Maharajas to exquisite contemporary pieces.The work of the Gem Palace of Jaipur counts as one of the real wonders of the high jewellery world, closely linked to Jaipur's legendary Minkari and Kundan work, which consists of finely detailed gold and enamel in a part of the world where precious stones are readily available. As such, their contemporary designs use traditional Indian methods that sit alongside a wonderfully vast historical collection taken from Maharajas and other private assemblies, including: a life-size gold enamelled parrot veneered with rubies and diamonds; a necklace inlaid with large Golconda mine diamonds, and a solid gold plate and spoon dotted with Maharaja diamonds. This magical jewellers continue to enchant all who look upon its collections.
