Jewellery that is beautiful, sustainable, customizable and also reasonable - sounds too good to be true isn’t it? Now such fantasies are realities with terracotta jewellery. Intricate eco-friendly jewellery hand-made from clay is a fast-growing trend.
This means you can have a terracotta accessory hand-painted to the same colour as your saree or salwar kameez to create a truly elegant and well-groomed look. Each piece can also be embellished to add to its charm, for example beads are added onto traditional jhumkas. The talented terracotta artists hand- sculpt earthy clay into the required design. Intricate almost microscopic design details are added and then the process of hand-painting starts. Since pieces can be customized, the piece you buy can be exclusive and one-of-a-kind.
The process sounds simple, but requires expertise and precision.Terracotta jewellery is essentially jewellery made from clay, the soil of the earth. It is an art, and there are many skilled women and men from villages and cities engaging in this indigenous skill. Terracotta jewellery is not just any accessory. Each piece empowers and supports a terracotta artisan, and tells the story of the creator’s craft and toil.
It is when earth becomes art that each piece of covetable terracotta jewellery comes to life!!
