The synthesis of Hindu, Muslim cultures created a rich variety of designs. That very style is still reflected in the styles of Jaipur, Lucknow and Hyderabad. Rajasthan, famous for all types of jewelry is especially rich in silver ornaments.

Neck jewelry constitutes an important item amongst various adornments collected and treasured by a woman. This is a special necklace called 'phalakara' where only silver plaques are strung together. This is a necklace of great allure and very much a part of the Jaipur opulence. It is in solid silver, in one of the designs of yore which have remained unaltered all through. It is smithed out in the traditional kundan form of setting that speaks for the silversmiths of Jaipur. This piece of silver is most distinctive, highly artistic and elaborate, and has vigor and sturdiness.
