Originally referred to as 'Mughal', the Persian word for Mongol of which the name Mogul is the modern version, the term was used to refer to the Central Asian nomads claiming descent from the Mongol warriors. The Mughal Empire was founded in 1526 and, in spite of drastic upheavals, survived until 1857. According to historians, it was the greatest empire of the world for over two centuries. The most famous Mughal Emperor 'Shah Jahan' succeeded to the throne by mid-seventeenth century, giving rise to a period of cultural prosperity and development for his nation. His empire supported cultural life, directed the creation of libraries, and collections of paintings and various objects of art. Shah Johan’s reign is remembered primarily for his monumental architectural achievements, the most famous of which is the Taj Mahal, symbolizing the Mughal artistic achievements. The Mughal era was the most significant in Indian history with respect to a fruitful fusion of Indian, Persian and Central Asian artistic tradition. The Mughals appreciated fine things of life, produced masterfully designed artifacts and favored cultural activities. The most important of all however, was the secure framework provided by the Empire within which arts and artistic talents could flourish. The blending of Persian and Indian artistic heritage resulted in the production of valuable pieces of jewelry and decorative objects mostly made of gold and embellished with precious stones and exquisite enamels of innumerable design and color. Green and red, however, were the favorite colors of the emperors and hence the frequent use of emeralds and rubies in the production of the most valuable pieces of jewelry. Shah Jahan's own magnificent signet ring, kept at the State Hermitage Museum, is believed to be a unique piece of jewelry with an original intaglio engraving of the Shah's name. The Mughal or Mogul revival style flourished throughout Europe, particularly in France, in the 1920's and was adopted by Cartier in a great variety of ornamental pieces particularly bracelets and necklaces.
