This article proposes that Mughal jewelry and gemstones had a social life. The way royal karkhana manufactured and emperors and royal family members circulated, controlled and gifted, determined the value of jewelry. The social and economic value was not inherited in jewelry, rather how it was understood and judged by people and how jewelry resisted the desire of people to possess them. The process of manufacturing involved a specialized knowledge employed in royal karkhana. The control over this knowledge also made the jewelry rare in medieval Indian society.
