Gold And Precious Stones Trail, Chennai

Jewellery trail takes you on a journey filled with plentiful stories told not just by hands that craft some delicate pieces, but ornate tales, myths, and stories that resound in the entire neighborhood. On this day trail, for around 3 hours, you will explore the making of exquisite hand-crafted Indian jewellery, appreciate the skill of crafting, discover myths and usage of precious gems, and more.

Under the guidance of an experienced guide, you’ll begin your trail around 10am and mostly cover the area by foot. Certain stretches may be covered by an auto. Travel to some of the most interesting areas of the city in quest of gold and be dazzled by what you find at the end of a narrow stairway. Do not let pokey, dime lit, tiny rooms elude you from believing otherwise. The end of the stairway transports you to an area where large quantities of gold get a makeover to become magnificent pieces of jewellery. Spend time with artisans who have been handed over this traditional profession, which has run the household for generations. Listen to their tales of maharajas and queens and their royal quirks. Learn about hidden nuances of precious gemstones, observe unchanged techniques in action, and appreciate the craft.
