The styles in wholesale jewelry in vogue are Kundan, Navratna (set with nine gems), jarao and Minakari. The gem setting centres are karachi and Lahore but Hyderabad too specializes in making fine gold jewellery, particularly ornate filigree work. Sind and Bahawalpur have preserved the old technique of Minakari. Swat, kangan and Chitral are known for their folk jewelry manufacturers pakistan.
Pakistan has a Jewelry Replenishment Scheme under which jewelry exporters pakistan can import gold or machinery equal to the value of their exports.
