Mughal rule started during 16th century and throughout their ruling period art of jewelry was given a due importance. Jewelry designs during that period were influenced by various cultures and religions. Hindu jewelry was predominated by figures of gods and ancient scriptures. But any kind of figure was prohibited in Islam so floral images gained importance. Even the European Fashion of 17th century especially jewelry in Renaissance era to some extent had influenced the Mughal jewelry. Overall use of precious stones and intricate carvings are the two significant aspects of Mughal jewelry.
Important Stones were precious gemstones which included diamond, emerald, ruby, kundan, polki, jade, pearls, tourmaline, topaz. Many beautiful qualities of beads were also used to make Mughal jewelry.
