Last weekend, we went to the Asian Civilisations Museum for an Open House event, and relished the special exhibition "Jewelled Arts of India in the Age of the Mughals".
Needless to say, the exhibits were all highly blinged-out, some with serious slap-in-the-face sized rubies, sapphires and emeralds. Other than just jewelry, stuff like hair grips, trinket boxes, belts and swords were also studded with gems. It was a feast for the eyes, and a very interesting insight.
