In my experience, the taste of royalty is addictive and Rajasthan is so magical, it only brings you closer to its lavish culture. The state has a charm that makes you want to leave your comfortable bedrooms to travel and shop. And when it comes to precious pieces of jewellery, Jaipur takes the cake. Even if you rarely wear a jewel, it’s impossible to not notice and love Deepika Padukone’s jewellery in Padmaavat.
Not exaggerating at all but the city brings you a variety of creations including Silver, Thewa, Kundan, Meenakari and Jadau jewellery. Thinking about the looks already? Here are a few places you can buy the best jewellery from in Jaipur.

Hotel Pearl Palace has a jewellery shop in its Peacock rooftop restaurant which sells a diverse variety of sterling silver jewellery and gemstones along with other traditional gift items. The jewellery they sell comes with a money back guarantee so that’s a good deal, right? Prices are reasonable. However, the shop only opens from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. so you might want to keep that in mind. The hotel is known to be one of the most cherished budget accommodation so if you are visiting Jaipur, you can stay there as well.

Many people look at jewellery as an investment more than just an ornament that enhances the beauty that you already are. Solid gold, sterling silver, platinum and gemstone jewels always take the front seat in this case. Having said that, fine jewellery brands are the best and safest destination for you. And lucky for us, Jaipur is packed with fine jewellery brands. A few stores you certainly would want to pay a visit are Amrapali Jewels, Birdhichand Ghanshyamdas Jewels, Motisons Jewellers, PC Jewellers and Kalyan Jewellers.
All the fine jewellery brands often provide jewellery for historical dramas like Jodha Akhbar, Bajirao Mastani, Padmaavat, Manikarnika and so on. So that’s a bonus!
8. Ivory Jewellery

Heard about haathi daant ka chura? Didn’t want to end the article without talking about it. It’s considered auspicious for weddings and denotes Lord Ganesha. Ivory ornaments with intricate carvings have always been popular. It used to be a gift to a Rajasthani bride from her in-laws after the marriage. The tradition has been there for ages. However, the government decided to limit the production of ivory ornaments and for good reason. I too do not encourage the purchase of ivory products. But if you visit the old city side of Jaipur, you might see women wearing the ivory chura which has been passed on to them from their families.
