Mughal jewellery, particularly armlets, rings, and anklets, beautifully embodies the fusion of Rajputana artistry with Islamic influences, often incorporating verses from the Holy Quran. Mughal jewellery pieces, crafted with meticulous detail, served not only as adornment but also as symbols of status, power, and cultural identity.
Armlets, worn on the upper arm, were significant pieces of Mughal jewelry. An exquisite example is an 18th-century armlet made of enameled gold, adorned with emeralds, yellow beryls (heliodor), pale emeralds, and seed pearls. Such armlets were tied onto the upper arm, showcasing the wearer's wealth and prestige.
