Jaipur has long been India’s gemstone capital. Walk through Johri Bazaar and you’ll see why: vitrines glowing with uncut emeralds, trays of polki diamonds wrapped in tissue, craftsmen hunched over enamel work that hasn’t changed much in technique for centuries.
The story began in the 18th century, when Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II invited skilled artisans to settle in the newly built city, establishing Jaipur as a thriving hub for coloured gemstones and jewellery. And that he did, so much so that today, you’ll find many top jewellery labels being headlined by the sixth, even seventh generation jewellers who’ve inherited the trade and know-how from their ancestors, mastering age-old jewellery techniques and forms. And then there’s the city’s next-gen jewellers crafting fun, throw-on-and-go pieces meant to be lived-in, rather than locked up in your tijoris.
If you’re looking for the best jewellery stores in Jaipur, the city offers a spectrum that spans heirloom polki and kundan sets, festive gemstone statements, demi-fine silver and playful costume pieces. Below, we’ve rounded up the best jewellery stores in Jaipur for bridal, festive, demi-fine and everyday shopping.
