The Rajmata - a gem of a lady

Qualities that are the core essence of a diamond and are now found embedded in Arisia's new exclusive collection of seductive solitaires. This range offers women, of all ages, a chance to experience the unparalleled magic of these highly exclusive solitaires from the Rajmata's signature collection.

Royalty has always cherished these precious stones as a symbol of power, wealth..and love. In fact, years ago, when the Rajmata was the princess of Cooch Behar, she fell in love with Man Singh, the then heir to the Jaipur throne. He presented her with a beautiful diamond ring at their secret engagement. "He told me that I should not let anyone know that it was a gift from him. I laughed and said that nobody in their right mind would think that I had gone out and bought such a ring for myself!" Eventually, the young princess wore it when alone, or at night, while sleeping. Luckily, such secrecy did not cloak her husband's nuptial gift to her. Of all the presents received at their wedding, she cherished the diamond necklace her 'Jai' gave her, the most.

Her life with the Maharaja has been well chronicled by historians. As have been her many years alone after he died. Endowed with an inner strength beyond compare, the Rajmata immersed herself in several charitable and educational institutions.

She continues to inspire women with her charismatic presence. Arisia's collection offers style-savvy women the rare chance of owning a piece of royalty. The 'Arisia Gayatri Devi Diamond Solitaire Collection' is a limited edition. Its 200 pieces have exquisite designs inspired by the Edwardian and Mughal eras. With the best quality of diamonds and the Rajmata's initials on it, every piece from the collection will make you feel..like royalty!
