Culture Vulture Sisodia Enamelled Earrings
Description
Inspired by "Sisodia", JaipurÂ’s Royal garden constructed by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh for his queen. Bold but lightweight enamel earrings handcrafted according to ancient enamelling techniques dating back to the 16th century. Adorned with faux pearls and reconstituted turquoise stones . In India, enamelling is a very rare craft solely cultivated by the Meenakar cast. The "Sonar" forms the metal base, the "Chhatera" engraves the design into the metal and creates grooves and walls to hold the colour and the "Meenakar" then pours in the colours. After each colour, the jewellery is fired in a kiln.
