Silver work

A variety of metal items, (brass, bronze, silver and gold) are crafted in Rajasthan. The Rjasthani silversmiths have gained considerable renown both within India and internationally due to their superior skills. Beautifully patterned jewellery boxes and caskets, candle stands, incense stick stand, jewellery, daggers, idols and figurines of deities, birds, animals etc are cast out of shiny silver. Traditionally the Rajput royals displayed their wealth by ornately crafted silver canopies, door and window panels and sword hilts.

Tribal jewelry of Rajasthan forms part of the rich handicraft heritage of the state. Big hanging earrings, chunky necklaces and intricate bracelets are favourites among the Rajasthani people. The women and men take pride in their traditional jewellery and Rajasthani womenfolk treasure their heritage. The pieces of jewellery are often heirlooms and passed down in families.
