How do They Make That? South Asian Jewelry

Who doesn't love fabulous South Asian jewelry? It is recognizable all over the world
for its opulent designs. But most of all, I love finding interesting things to pair
it with for a glam effect.
Take Cate Blanchett for example, who paired her gold Indian jewelry with 
a simple black gown for an eye-catching result:


And of course who could forget the beautiful accessories featured in Chanel's India-inspired
 Resort 2012 collection:


























































So I thought wouldn't it be great to catch a glimpse into the craftsmanship
 behind some of the world's most beautiful jewelry?
I caught this man working on a traditional piece while visiting a jeweler in Karachi.



The amount of intricate hand-details that go into traditional South Asian design is breathtaking.
 I love the interesting color combination of South Asian jewelry!
