About Gemstone Carving

This craft in India traces its origins back to ancient times under various dynasties, including the Mughals and the Rajputs, who valued gemstones not only for their beauty but also for their symbolic significance. Knowledge of gemstones was passed from father to son for generations but also taught in texts such as the notorious Kama Sutra. Over the centuries, gemstone craft evolved, incorporating influences from different regions and cultures, resulting in a diverse array of styles and techniques.
