Hypoallergenic Everyday Jewellery in Jaipur | Nickel-Free | Urban Rani

Location: Jaipur, Rajasthan

Selling jewellery to Jaipur takes some nerve

We know exactly where we're writing to. Johari Bazaar has traded gemstones for three hundred years, Jaipur cuts and polishes stones for the entire world, and kundan, meenakari and thewa were perfected within a few kilometres of the Hawa Mahal. If anyone can spot the difference between real craft and a pretty photograph, it's you.

So we'll be straightforward about what we are. Urban Rani is not heritage jewellery. We make hypoallergenic, nickel-free, anti-tarnish pieces for everyday wear — 18K gold plated over stainless steel, and 92.5 sterling silver. We say plated when it's plated. We're a father-and-daughter brand from Kolkata, and every order is packed by the two of us.

The gap we fill

Nobody in Jaipur needs us for a wedding set. What's harder to find here is the everyday middle — something you can wear five days a week to the office, that costs a fraction of gold, and that doesn't leave your skin itching by afternoon.

  • No nickel. Nickel is behind most jewellery allergies, and it's what turns your neck green or your earlobe sore. There's none in anything we make.
  • Anti-tarnish plating over stainless steel, built for daily wear rather than the locker.
  • 92.5 sterling silver in our CHANDNI line for skin that reacts even to plating.
  • Six-month warranty, and an anti-tarnish pouch with every order.

Through the Rajasthani year

Teej and Gangaur. Processions, colour, and long days in the sun — women's festivals where Jaipur genuinely dresses. Light pieces for the hours when a full traditional set becomes too much, and something comfortable for the walking.

Wedding season. Jaipur is one of India's destination wedding capitals, which means guests as much as brides. If you're attending several functions across a season, a recombinable sterling silver set works harder than separate matched sets.

Lac bangles and stacking. Tripolia Bazaar does lac better than anywhere. Our resin bangles and slim cuffs stack alongside them rather than replacing them — mixing traditional and everyday is the whole point.

Bandhej and leheriya. Printed fabric with a lot happening needs restraint at the neckline. One fine chain, small studs, and let the fabric lead.

The summer. Jaipur hits 45°C and it is genuinely dry. Minimal, lightweight pieces, and take everything off when you get home.

Dry heat is easy on jewellery, hard on skin

Rajasthan's low humidity is actually kind to metal — plating lasts longer here than in Mumbai or Chennai, and silver tarnishes more slowly. What the climate does affect is your skin: dry heat plus sweat plus a nickel-bearing alloy is an unpleasant combination, which is where skin-safe metal earns its place.

What to shop

Care

  • Wipe after wear — a soft dry cloth removes sweat and dust, and Jaipur has plenty of both.
  • Use the pouch. Even in dry air, a closed pouch keeps dust out of detailing.
  • Last on, first off — perfume and hair oil before jewellery.
  • A polishing cloth restores silver in under a minute.

Questions from Jaipur customers

Is this real gold?
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. It's 18K gold plating over stainless steel, priced accordingly. Our silver is genuine 92.5 sterling.

How long does delivery take?
Usually 4–6 working days. Cash on Delivery available.

Why buy plated jewellery in Jaipur of all places?
For the days you don't want to wear anything valuable — travel, work, the gym bag, a long commute. Skin-safe, replaceable, and it looks right.

My skin reacts to costume jewellery.
That's nickel, and there's none in ours. For very reactive skin, start with 92.5 sterling silver — and if a piece still irritates you, tell us and we'll refund you.
