"The royal patronage of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, founder of Jaipur,
was instrumental in inviting the family of Surana jewellers in 1735
from Delhi to promote the intricate art of handcrafted gold, enamel,
kundan, diamond and precious stone jewellery." Surana jewellers, as old as the city itself, have since
then perfected the art form and handed this craft down the generations
creating masterpieces reminiscent of the royal bygone era.
Two and a half centuries of experience, fine craftsmanship and
customer satisfaction have been the key factors in making them pioneers
in the art of Jewellery. This legacy is being carried forward by Kamal
Surana and Mrs. Prem Surana. Their constant endeavor to design and
create exceptional pieces of art in jewellery has led to an exclusive
collection, which is an aesthetic fusion of the traditional and the
contemporary. His wealth of experience in the international market has
proved to be his biggest asset and has ensured a global clientele
Kamal Suranas' mentor and inspiration was his father, the late Shri
Rajmal Surana. He was the undisputed King of Kundan and Minakari art of
Indian jewellery. His vision, innovative designs and the zeal to
promote jewellery at a global level, gave a fresh lease of life
to the perishing art of Minakari. His efforts to get the Gold Control
Act abolished are an unforgettable contribution to the industry. Under
his able guidance the family started participating in international
jewellery fairs which gave this art global recognition. He was also
invited to be an integral member of the expert committee set up by the
Govt. of India for evaluation of the Nizam's Jewels in 1973, when the
collection was offered for sale by the jewellery trust. This stands as
a testimonial for his expertise, skills and credibility.
Like him Kamal Surana is also propagating this incredible craft with an
exquisite collection which has a global appeal and is keeping this
artistic heritage alive. He has been honoured & awarded with the 'Pioneer Award' by the Indian Diamond & Colorstone Association (IDCA) for his outstanding achievements & contribution to the Jewellery Industry. The resplendent collection of jewellery
displayed at Suranas upholds the tradition of meticulous workmanship,
uncompromising style and reliability envisioned by its founders.
