What happens when you put together the creative skills of a
designer, the precision of a highly skilled artisan and knowledge of precious
stones and metals? Earlier this profession was confined to only a select few
but highly skilled artisans and outsiders were not allowed to enter this
business. What’s more, the end product enthralled the royalty and the commoners
alike. They served various purposes: making items of personal adornment, status
symbols and indicators of the owner’s wealth and prosperity. Yes, we are
talking about jewellery designing.
Jewellery designing, manufacturing and trading has been an
integral part of the human society since five thousand years or more. Earlier a
few select families ran the business of jewellery designing and jewellery
making and the technical knowledge associated with this trait was kept a
closely guarded secret and passed on from generation to generation. However,
all that has changed.
