Jewels that exist only once.
Palishhka makes one-of-a-kind polki and jadau jewellery for boutiques across India. Drawn, engraved, enamelled and set by hand in our atelier above Tripolia Bazar.
The House
For three decades, one workshop in the old city has made jewels the slow way. Each design drawn once, engraved once, enamelled and set once, and never repeated.

The Craft
The making
of jadau.
Jadau is jewellery built layer by layer, by several pairs of hands. No casting, no moulds. The same five stages Jaipur has practised for centuries, one piece at a time.
Read the full story
-
Chitrai
The drawing
Every piece begins on paper. A designer draws the form at full size, balancing stone against enamel and weight against fall. The drawing is made once and never used again.
-
Ghaat
The frame
The goldsmith raises the ghaat, the skeleton of the piece, from sheet and wire. No casting and no moulds: the form is shaped, joined and trued entirely by hand.
-
Khudai
The engraving
The engraver carves the pattern into the metal, cutting the beds that will hold enamel and stone. The depth of each cut decides how the colour will pool and glow.
-
Meenakari
The enamel
Mineral colours are ground, painted into the engraving and fired in the kiln, layer over layer. Each firing risks the one before it; only an experienced hand judges the heat.
-
Jadai
The setting
Uncut polki diamonds are bedded over foil and set in pure, soft gold pressed around each stone by hand, without claws and without heat. This is the jadau itself: the act of embedding.
The Pink City
From Jaipur, city of jewellers.
Since Sawai Jai Singh II raised the Pink City in 1727, its bazars have cut, enamelled and set stones for courts and connoisseurs. Palishhka works inside that lineage: our atelier sits above Tripolia Bazar, between the gate and the Hawa Mahal, where the jadau crafts have passed from hand to hand for generations.
