What is Rajputhana or Rajputi jewellery?

Rajputhana jewellery dates back to the Rajput dynasty, who ruled the states of Rajasthan between 7th to 19th century. The term Rajput comes from Rajputra which means Son of Kings. Rajputs were recognized for their bravery, faithfulness and royalty. They were brave and arrogant enough to be entitled as the illustrious fighters and had that stamp forever with them. Not just fighters, but they were great artists as well who were known for their skilled craftsmenship. The jewellery thus designed by the Rajputs were termed as Rajputi or Rajputhana jewellery and are known by same name till date.
