Around three centuries ago in 1727 Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh the Second led the foundation of the city of Jaipur and developed it as his capital, and hence Jaipur is the first modern planned city of India. It is in the reign of His Highness and by his foresightedness, Jaipur started its journey to lead the world of gemstone and jewelry. Being the dry land there was no scope for agriculture. Raja Jai Singh(II) by assimilating this aspect, invited skilled craftsmen and stone cutters from around the region to Jaipur and nurtured it into the hub of gemstone and jewelry. Under his patronage jewelers, stonecutters, and many other artisans flourished. This craftsmanship continued and still practicing by passing down the legacy to the next generation, a legacy that can not be learned from books but inherited from ancestors. Jaipur has beautifully preserved this age-old wisdom of gemstone and jewelry manufacturing. Each generation has grasped the skill and perfected it by accumulating new trends and technologies of their time and cultivated Jaipur as the city of gems.
