How was it made? Making and enamelling an earring | V&A

In the late 16th century, Mughal court goldsmiths created a new style of jewellery, combining two techniques – kundan setting (gem-setting using pure gold) and enamelling. We travelled to workshops in Mumbai and Jaipur to see how these crafts are still used in the production of a traditional pair of earrings. Each stage is done by a specialist craftsman. This film shows the creation of the gold and enamel earring, in preparation for kundan setting.
