For many generations, gemstones have been coveted, bought, traded, adored, desired, and utilized as a pivotal symbol of cultural identity. They achieve the pinnacle of value and uniqueness with their exquisite cut and polish.
Every gemstone carver desires to showcase the qualities that are unique to each gem to the best of his/her ability. Teaching and learning the ancient art of gemstone carving is how the craftsmen of Rajasthan fulfill this desire.
Indian artists have honed the technique of carving gemstones, making them even more precious. In Jaipur, India’s colourful gemstone capital, our craftsmen have been carving and polishing gemstones for generations. Gemstones such as emeralds, tourmalines, rubies, amethysts, sapphires, and quartzes have been adorned with pride. As larger gemstones are carved into magnificent figurines they break into smaller chunks, especially while carving softer stones like amethysts, emeralds, garnets, and tourmalines. However, at Ma Passion, even the smallest fragments of these nature’s bounty are utilised to make mesmerising pieces of jewellery or other decorative collectibles. For us, carvings are a tribute to art in its purest form and we hope to continue the legacy of our kaarigars and their ancestors. Ma Passion’s craftsmen are constantly evolving, achieving greater heights of creativity by crafting remarkable jewellery, carvings, and pieces of décor, preserving the ancient art of gemstone carving while also infusing contemporary aesthetics.
Colours fascinate us. Some people take refuge in the bright yellow of the sun or the captivating red of the rose, whereas others desire the peaceful blue of the sky. This Holi, add some vibrance to your life with the myriad colours of nature in the most elegant way.
