Together in this 8th episode of Season 6, they explore why Bikaner is considered one of India's most important centres for Jadau jewellery, the history of Basra pearls and Mughal miniature paintings, what makes truly exceptional craftsmanship, why India's wealthiest collectors invest in antique jewellery, and how luxury jewellery is evolving with innovative materials like titanium. The conversation also uncovers the private world of bespoke jewellery, where relationships matter more than storefronts, craftsmanship outweighs branding, and every piece tells a story.
