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 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 pieces of jewelry of the era.
