With such immaculate craftsmanship only limited pieces are possible, which are rare and spectacular, worth putting up for sale in Auction Houses. These elegant silver artifacts; presently are developed as a series of Bird and other forms for collectors of Art, Investors and Connoisseurs. Process of Enameling (Menakari) is possible on Pure Silver. Each piece is molded in its original form, which is very carefully engraved. Finely grinded glass powder mixed with colors is filled in the engraving, which is fused into silver by heating at particular temperature. Several rounds of heating are required for reaching the final stage. Finally it is the result of artisan’s craftsmanship and sensibilities; here lacquer is filled into the mold for strength.
It is Guaranteed that the Silver sheet used is of 92.3% pure. Each piece is handcrafted. Enameling is life long and will never tarnish or loose its colors/shine or finish. |
