Jewelry and Gem Trade in Jaipur, India
Jaipurās gemstone legacy predates its 1727 founding, rooted in Amber where Raja Man Singh I invited master artisans. Under Sawai Jai Singh II, the city became a hub for coloured stones like emeralds, rubies, and sapphires-its global stature later cemented by institutions like GJEPC and major trade fairs.Among the early families shaping this legacy was the Rawat family, originally from Kaladera, Rajasthan. Invited to settle in Jaipur by Sawai Jai Singh II, they were granted homes near the royal mint, now Chandi ki Tiksal. Their formal trade lineage began with M/s Maliram Puranmal Rawat. In 2023, Karan Rawat founded Opulence Impex Limited to carry this heritage forward- a modern expression of centuries-old craftsmanship and global ambition.
