<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 531973, member: 2844&quot;]Made in Jaipur, Rajasthan, NW India, the city of jewels.

Pretty recent, but also very pretty.</p><p>The design could be called floral, but it is just one of those classic ways of mounting a bunch of nice gemstones. Much like many rings, pendants and brooches have been made in the West for centuries.</p><p>The designs rarely have a special significance, other than showing off. The Jaipur silversmiths probably started making them as a simplified version of traditional Kundan jewellery.</p><p>Occasionally they make them into specific designs, like a sterling and peridot dragonfly pendant I have.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rajasthani Kundan jewellery:</p><p><img src="https://jewellerista.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/heavy_kundan_jadau_s_qmK0w.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Bali is one of the Indonesian islands.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
