- A TIMELESS PIECES™ Exclusive: Bracelet Bangle with enameled overlay meenakari work from Jaipur/India
Disclaimer: OUR PICTURE SHOWS SEVERAL OTHER ENAMEL BRACELETS.This auction is ONLY for 1 (one) bracelet/bangle as pictured. For other colors or motifs please follow this link: Check out my other items!
This Indian bangle/bracelet comes with fine enamel painting, popularly known as meenakari work.
What is Meenakari? Enameling is the art of colorings or decorating a metal surface by attaching or fusing pieces of different mineral substances, over it. Enameling is considered the most alluring and technical of all metal decorations. In the past enameling was only done on gold, but presently it is done other metals like silver, copper etc
The art of decorating metal with enameling or Meenakari was alien to India and was introduced by the Mughals. Raja Man Singh of Amber brought Meenakari to Rajasthan at the turn of the 16th century. Man Singh brought skillful minakars from the Mughal palace at Lahore and established them in Jaipur, which became the center of Meenakari.
The technique of Meenakari requires a high degree of skill and application. The piece of metal on which meenakari is to be done is fixed on a lac stick. Delicate designs of flowers, birds, fish etc are etched or engraved on it. This leads to the creation of walls or grooves, to hold color. Enamel dust of required color is then poured into the grooves and each color is fired individually. The heat of the furnace melts the color and the colored liquid gets spread equally into the groove. This process is repeated with each color.
As each color is individually fired, colors, which are most heat resistant, are applied first, as they are re-fired with each additional color. As a rule, white is the first color applied, and red the last.
After the last color has been fired, the object is cooled and burnished or polished with agate. The depth of the grooves filled with different colors determines the play of light.
- Style:
- Bangle/Bracelet
- Silver with enamel work/inlay
- Green enamel coating inside the bracelet
- Motif with elephant, horse, camel, etc. (other motifs and sizes are available - check our other items!
- PLEASE NOTE: The enamel work is handcrafted so please allow for variations. THE BRACELET IS NOT PERFECT (f.ex. edges are unfinished, design is not perfectly aligned, shape is not always exactly round) but that is the beauty and the charm of it. We are not talking about a Herme* or a Fre* bangle - their bangles retail for $600+ - but this is handicraft work with an artisan feel to it. If your expectations for $95 are any different and/or if you have a more perfect generic item in mind, we kindly ask you NOT TO BID!
