Destination: Jaipur
Why Go Now Text Size A A A
The focus for the traveler should be on enjoying the city’s vast treasures. Jaipur possesses both extravagant architecture and a lifestyle befitting a place known around the globe for its intricate jewelry, gems, textiles and palace hotels. In fact, everyone who loves and collects jewelry seems to alight in Jaipur, now a world center for gem cutting and jewelry design. Rajasthanis love adornment, and Jaipur is where you’ll find exquisite shocking-pink, turquoise and amethyst-colored sari silks with gold-thread borders, embroidered quilts and handmade leather slippers, as well as tribal silver jewelry, tailor-made linen tunics for men, sparkling lacquer bracelets (for the princely sum of a dollar each), dresses by India’s top fashion designers and, at the legendary Gem Palace, Indo-Russian-style diamond chandelier earrings.
