When we hear the word "gypsy," Rajasthan and its jewelry immediately come to mind.

Indeed, the origin of the Romani people lies in that land between Pakistan and northwestern India, where the Indus River flows, the land of the Aryans, great ironworkers and metal welders. It was thanks to them that iron arrived in Europe, transitioning from polished stone to cut stone to bronze.

Evidence of this craftsmanship can still be found today in Pushkar, a sacred Indian city where the artisanal brass jewelry market thrives, and in Jaipur, the famous city of precious stones.

Exploring the Rajasthan desert, it is still possible to encounter Romani communities, their customs and traditions, to be swept away by their dances or to share their culture.

Following the ancient Romani tradition, Gipsy Fashion Wear has based its jewelry line on the ancient brass craftsmanship of Pushkar. Combining the ancient knowledge of Rajasthan with new artistic designs, every year it produces its collection of earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and rings embellished with semi-precious stones from Jaipur.
