Indian Jewelry » Gold Jewelry Jaipur

Yet another positive step of far-reaching significance was taken in the last decade when it was realized that by taking on large scale modern jewellery making, India could keep home the added-value which accrues when Indian processed gems are studded into machine-made jewellery overseas. The Government of India declared jewellery as the thrust item for exports. India's & dynamic diamantaires took the lead in establishing export-oriented modern jewellery manufacturing units, equipped with the latest high tech equipment in India, some of those being joint ventures with overseas manufacturers. Other jewellery makers also joined hands. Jaipur too has followed suit and is now manufacturing modern jewellery, some with foreign collaboration also. Soon a jewellery boom resulted.

Today India is regularly exporting gems-studded as well as plain gold jewellery worth millions of dollars to many countries. Additionally, well-established jewellery houses have started manufacturing and retailing branded jewellery within the country. The country has launched its first chain of jewellery stores across the length and breadth of the land. Hallmarking to guarantee the purity of gold content is the latest move.

Another addition to India's jewellery industry is the diversification for expensive platinum jewellery, but it is being produced mainly for exports because for the local jewellery loving women who patronize white jewellery, low-cost silver jewellery is available everywhere."
