The Genesis of Amrapali

The journey of Amrapali began as a labour of love.
During their college days, Mr Rajiv Arora and
Mr Rajesh Ajmera embarked on a transformative
journey across India, exploring its art, culture, and
soul. They were captivated by the intricate jewellery
worn by tribal communities and the unique objects
traded in local markets. These treasures spoke of a
deep-rooted cultural narrative, one that was slowly
being overshadowed by modernity.

Determined to preserve and showcase this artistic
legacy, the duo founded Amrapali Jewels in Jaipur.
The city, with its vibrant history and artistic heritage,
served as the perfect backdrop for their ambitious
venture. They sought to bridge the gap between
traditional Indian craftsmanship and contemporary
design, creating jewellery that resonated with both
Indian and global audiences.
