Another must see place if you are already in Agra! The beautiful embroidery museum by Shams
Photography is not allowed – I got this from the brochure – it is much much more beautiful in person. So if you are visiting the Taj, give 30 minutes to come see this – it is spectacular. The embroidery is mixed with jewelry by Kohinoor Jewellers. Very rare pieces which took Shams many years to make. He eventually went blind because of the strain the embroidery put on his eyes
Outside the museum are pieces made by students of Shams – these are the only ones for sale but of course not as beautiful as the master

On the second level is a jewelry store
– owned by the family that supplied Shams his jewelry. Now the 5th Generation has taken over. Ruchira Mathur, who is a gemologist and designs the jewelry
She showed us many rare pieces their family owns
The son, Milind Mathur, who is also a gemologist and takes care of quality control and if the Creative Director of the company

Le 13/03/1999 j’ai acheté une bague Emeraude 1.54 cts sertie de diamant 0.34 ct or 18 cts réglé mastercard 7044,00 francs suite à une émission du 4/01/2014 sur TF1 concernant les bijoux en Inde je voulais préciser que cette émeraude qui avait un joli vert profond au départ est au fur et à mesure devenu plus claire présentant de très vilains défaut de fissure interne j’ai fait retiré cette émeraude monté en pendentif à l’heure actuelle que je ne mets absolument pas car de très mauvaise qualité, voilà je tenais à témoigner avec le sentiment de mettre fait avoir

I still adore my blue sapphire ring my husband bought for me years ago. It was amazing to see and wear such amazing emeralds while we shopped. Could you tell me the year your family was featured in National Geographic. I have been looking for a copy recently.
Thank you so much.

Hello I am contacting you on behalf of a friend of mine she has found an embroidery of two cranes. The artist signed it shams of Agra inda. The person that she got it from has passed away and I am sure that he most likely stole it and I am trying to return it to the people that own it.
