DESCRIPTION
The Mughal emperors and courtiers wore ear studs or small round earrings made of pearls or gemstones.
The empresses wore exquisite long earrings, which could be termed today as chandelier earrings.
These stunning earrings were beautifully crafted out of fine enameled gold or pure silver and laden with multiple large gemstones, pearls, and premium beads.
Pretty strings attached to the earrings were fastened to the hair of royal ladies with tiny hooks. Some Mughal earring strings were so long and thick that they almost covered the whole ear.

MUGHAL IMAGES
The Mughal Images immediately took a much greater interest in realistic portraiture than was typical of Persian miniatures. Animals and plants were the main subject of many miniatures for albums and were more realistically depicted. To upload your images click here.
