Rajasthan Lac jewellery

My personal favorite is Meenakari. Meenakari Jewelry is another specialty of the artisans of Rajasthan. Precious and semiprecious gems are embellished into gold or silver jewelry and the meal itself is enameled with bright colors. Introduced to the state’s jewelers by Raja Mansingh of Amer, this style of jewelry crafting was originally discovered by the skilled workmen of Lahore.

Honed to perfection by the jewelry makers of the state, Meenakari jewelry now bears the unmistakable stamp of Rajasthani expertise. Jaipur is the hub of this skill and the city is famous for the intricate and bright masterpieces produced here. Other places famous for enameled jewelry in Rajasthan are Alwar, Pratapgarh and Nathdwara. The cloisonné style of metalwork is practiced by the skilled workmen of Jaipur.

Do you like Meenakari work? And what about Meenakari in sarees?

I love lac bangles. I got a whole lot of these bangles from Rajasthan, years ago. I really like their colors and designs. But now they don't fit me anymore. Can anybody tell me where I can find beautiful rajasthani choodiyan in Haryana or Delhi.

I can go anywhere in Delhi/NCR region to find them.

the jewellery looks great

Jaipur city is the big centre for Lac bangles, toys and different articles. Lac jewellery and bangles are made in many shades and are plain or studded with glass pieces, semi precious and precious stones are also ornamented. Bangles are considered very auspicious in the Hindu religion and Lac bangles are worn on all auspicious occasions in Rajasthan.

Have you got any lac jewellery from Rajasthan?
