Jewellery

Indian courtly Jewellery is among the most sumptuous and finely wrought in the world, while the subcontinent's fold jewellery abounds in stunningly bold and powerful designs. The V&A's collection is unparalleled in its size and range, comprising over 4000 pieces and owing largely to the scale of collecting in the 2nd half of the 19th century, it is uniquely positioned to illustrate the remarkable diversity of materials used in Indian jewellery and the distinctive skills of its makers. This book features stunning photogrpahs and recent research breaking new grounds as well as presenting collection of rare and ravishing significance.
