The Gem Palace - Jaipur

Opulent doesn't even begin to describe The Gem Palace in Jaipur.
From maharajas to Princess Diana, royalty, celebrities and fashion insiders have been making the trek for years to The Pink City to choose from piles of the most exquisite uncut rubies and emeralds. The jewelry buyer from Bergdorf Goodman had dropped in for an appointment on my recent visit there. The owner, Mr. Kasliwal, will even let you try on the most incredibly lavish pieces when they are clearly not within your budget.
