ShalinCraft sterling silver necklace, gemstone necklace, pearl necklace, and other forms of fashion jewelry necklace are handcrafted by the traditional artisans of Jaipur in Rajasthan. Gemstone bead necklaces have always held a great fascination for all people in India. The abundance of locally available hard stones agate, bloodstone, cornelian, chalcedony, garnet and others long ago led to a flourishing bead making industry in the city of Cambay on the Arabian Sea coast. Still using the laborious hand techniques of cutting, shaping, polishing and drilling, thousands are here employed making beads of all sizes and forms. The gemstone beads are strung into a variety of decorative necklaces and forms.
