Jaipur : The capital of Rajasthan known as Pink City. Jewellery is an integral part of Rajasthani culture. Even camels, horses and elephants have specially designed anklets and necklaces. Jaipur is one of the largest ornament making centres in India. The meenakari (enamel work) and kundankari (inlay work with gems) on gold and silver are the two most famous traditional techniques. Jaipur's main tourist attraction is the City palace's Sawai Man Singh II museum.

Jaipur is internationally famous for expert cutting of emeralds and diamonds. Gem cutters learn their skill by cutting garnets. They are skilled in stone setting. The Meenakari painting on metal is also Jaipur's own speciality. Meenakari decorated metal boxes have traditional floral patterns in red, blue, green and white. A jewelled trinket box with a kundankari lid will be a good purchase. Kundankari uses highly refined gold as a base, which is then inlaid with lac and set with precious and semi-precious stones to provide colour and design. Purified gold wire outlines the design and also conceals the lac background.
