Between Lal Chowk and the shops of Polo View, Kashmir sells jewellery the way it sells everything — slowly, over kahwa, with a story about where the pattern came from.
- The market
- Lal Chowk & Polo View
- Known for
- Enamel, filigree-look & chandbalis

What our buyers look for
- Fine, even filigree-look patterns
- Painted enamel with clean edges
- Cuffs that flex without bending out of shape
- Motifs you won't see in every mall
Kashmir is our quietest market and our favourite. The jewellery here borrows from papier-mâché boxes and shawl borders: tiny painted florals, deep violets, filigree-look cuffs that read like lace on the wrist.
We go for pieces that feel like an heirloom you didn't have to inherit — a cuff you'll wear every day for a year, a lantern charm that makes a plain bracelet personal.
Every Kashmir find comes with a little patience. It's worth it.
