• Time : 11:00 am - 8:00 pm

• Event Details : An exhibition of photographs 'The jewellers of France & The Princes of India'.
• The exhibition ‘Indian Princess and Parisian Jewellers’ is a historical voyage through the exquisite jewels of Indian Princes.
• The photographs of jewels by three renowned European jewelers,Cartier, Mauboussin, Van Cleef and Arpels will be on display.
• The wearing of jewellery has always seemed, as it is today, an intrinsic part of Indian life. The precious metals and stones do not just represent riches or possessions, or even the necessary adjunct of the power and glory, though the great Mughals epitomized the saying that the glory of a prince is made tangible by his buildings, his library and his jewels, but are also considered quasi divine, are believed to have astrological attributes and prophylactic properties. Precious stones have always conferred power and health on their owners, who wore them, in accordance with strict codes. One can therefore imagine the Indian princes’ passion for jewels, and the importance of their relationships with the world of elite jewelers.
