Surana Jewellers dates its founding to 1735, when Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II - the founder of Jaipur - invited the Surana family to the newly built city to develop its jewelry trade, specifically kundan, meenakari and jadau techniques. Those crafts are indigenous to Rajasthan and the house has continued them across generations. The business is located in Johari Bazaar, Jaipur's historic jewelry marketplace, and has passed down through the Surana family, with twentieth-century figures such as Prakash Chand Surana credited with reviving and popularizing the kundan-meenakari tradition further.
