Mughal Colored Gemstone And Pearl Pendant Brooch
About the Item
This historic gold brooch hails from the illustrious Mughal Empire and showcases the beauty of traditional jadau jewelry. Using the jadau technique, artisans create a gold frame into which precious stones and other treasures can be imbedded. Almost certainly once worn as adornment for a turban or other head covering, the creation has been modified to be wearable as both a pendant and brooch. The 14K yellow gold brooch showcases colored gemstones with vibrant red, green and blue hues, as well as delicate drop baroque pearls.
The Mughal Shahs are considered among the richest men of all time, as their rule over the entire Indian subcontinent gave the empire access to the most prolific sources of the rare gemstones, pearls and other natural treasures than all the kingdoms of Europe combined. Though the Mughals introduced jadau jewelry techniques to India, the skilled craftsmen of Rajasthan and Gujarat mastered the technique; it remains a part of the rich cultural heritage of India.
