The artisans and jewellers of Jaipur have proposed for getting a Geographical Indication Registration for Kundan Meena, the well known jewellary of Jaipur. This proposal was made at the seminar on “Future prospects of Kundan Meena jewellery in the globalizing world” organized during the ongoing Jaipur Jewellary show at Rajmahal Palace in Jaipur on 25th December ,2010. At the seminar, leading jewelers and artisans said that this traditional jewellary should get a Geographical Indication Registration. This registration would help them to prevent other countries or regions from staking their claim about the product belonging to them.
Kundan jewellery is one of the oldest forms of jewellery which is made in one of the purest form of gold i.e. 24 carat gold. It is traditional Indian gemstone jewellery, a method of gem setting in a jewellery piece, consisting of inserting gold foil between the stones and its mount, usually used to create elaborate necklaces. This jewellery has stones encrusted on one side with colourful and intricate meenakari on the reverse. Traditional Kundan Jewellary is believed to have originated in royal courts of Rajasthan and Gujarat.
