Jewelry Business India
With a 5000 year history of jewelry making it's certainly no wonder why India is so huge in the industry. This country excels in producing cut and polished stone jewelry combined with a wide choice of metals at very affordable prices. India has been a stone cutting center for centuries with the rough stones imported from around the world. The colored semi-precious stone choices are endless and the quality is excellent.
Although their are factories in India, jewelry making still relies heavily on the "cottage industry" approach. As an example: One particular family or group of families may specialize in hand setting bezels on small stones. Others may have tremendous skill in manipulating Sterling Silver Wire into filigree. Ultimately all of the various components may be assembled in one facility.
Note: India is currently investing heavily in the equipment and technology for the mass-production of Silver and Gold Chain. Another major producer competing with Italy for the precious metal chain market almost always benefits the consumer.
Sausalito Silver Company will always offer a portion of our collection of Handcrafted Silver and Stone or Semi-Precious Stone Pendants and Bracelets from India. We are looking forward to adding a selection of Silver Chains from India in the near future.
