Enduring Splendor focuses on the rich and diverse silver jewelry
traditions of India's Thar Desert region, stretching across the
western states of Rajasthan and Gujarat. These traditions are
considered against the background of the five-thousand-year history
of jewelry making across the vast Indian Subcontinent. Drawing on
recent field research carried out in the city of Jaisalmer, a
thriving center of contemporary jewelry production, Enduring
Splendor explores for the first time the life and work of four
sonis (silversmiths or goldsmiths). To contextualize this recent
production, numerous illustrations of very fine examples of
ninteenth- and twentieth-century jewelry types that are still worn
are included. These objects have been borrowed from the Ronald and
Maxine Linde Collection of Jewelry and Ritual Arts of India, part
of a promised gift to UCLA, where it will find its future home with
the Fowler Museum. The Linde Collection is one of the finest and
most comprehensive collections of Indian jewelry in the world. This
volume highlights elaborate rural styles rendered in silver as well
as selected ornate examples, largely associated with the elite,
made with gold and gemstones.
