While talking about stone jewellery in the era of Raja Maharajas, kings and queens, gemstone jewellery was prominent in use and was immediately after gold jewellery when it comes to daily wearing and their treasure heaps. Based on the quality, quantity and types of gemstones and gold-silver heaps any king would be ranked among their counterparts across the globe.

These kings, their treasures and their anecdotes became the reasons of attacks and lust to conquer the new rich princely states across unconquered mountains and oceans.

These incursions resulted in the first step towards today’s globalization. People started exchanging rituals, living styles, clothes, gemstones and all sorts of things that they can exchange under the barter system or against gold & gemstones. This also resulted in the initiation of exploring unknown territories to do business.
