I'll leave it for you guys to decide.
So , as the Gold is getting over the roof, Is it a good decision to have these beautiful Navratna studs in 14 Carat instead of 22 carats?
I love the center, triangle diamond flat polki and rubies combination, with all the hand engravings โจ
This ring ๐ is full of double cut fine diamonds but this center stone is the talk of the Town ๐โจ
Sharing this from my collection โ a Mughal-era Yashab (jade) cigar pipe, approximately 100 years old, Jaipur or Agra workmanship.
Celadon-grey nephrite jade body in the classic double-gourd silhouette, set using Kundan/Jadau technique in 23-carat (98% pure) gold with flat Polki diamonds and Burmese ruby cabochons forming a lotus motif. The mouthpiece is a separate green meenakari enamel piece with geometric gold lattice.

Sharing this piece from my collection that I've been meaning to post here for a while.
This is a Mughal-era Yashab (jade) cigar pipe, approximately 100 years old, almost certainly of Jaipur or Agra workmanship. The body is carved celadon-grey nephrite jade in the classic double-gourd silhouette.
The gemstone setting is Kundan/Jadau technique using 23-carat (98% pure) gold โ the softness of which is essential to press stones directly into jade without heat. Set into it are flat Polki (uncut) diamonds and Burmese ruby cabochons forming a lotus motif. The mouthpiece is a separate green meenakari enamel piece with geometric gold lattice โ distinctly Rajasthani.
Would love to hear from anyone who can help date it more precisely or identify the workshop. Happy to answer questions!
Was exploring Jaipur's jewellery market and came across these. The seller claims these have real pearls, emeralds, rubies and diamonds set in gold. The craftsmanship looks incredible but I'm not sure how to verify authenticity. Has anyone bought fine gemstone jewellery from Jaipur? How do you tell real from fake?

If you're a Rajsthani, you must have had atleast 1 of the Polki jewellery.
This one, or a panther brooch in 925 Silver
Since I'm a jeweller myself, people often ask me the BEST and unique rings for engagement. I wonder if this one works?
I have been thinking about this and can't decide myself. So here we go guys!!!! Be honest. Your opinion matters!
In the BVLGARI Eclettica Collection, the design seems to be pretty much geometric. I Love how the gemstones are used as cobochan pieces and not cut stones.
What do you guys think?
My friend lost her beloved cat and wanted a way to keep her close forever. As her friend, I felt it was my duty to make that happen.
This is the result; a fully hand engraved cat portrait set into a 925 sterling silver ring. Every single line, every whisker, every tuft of fur was done by hand. No laser, no machine assistance.
I'd love to hear your honest feedback and what do you think of the detail work? Is there anything you'd do differently? I'm always looking to improve my craft.
Thanks in advance for any kind words or constructive thoughts! ๐ฑ
