Stunning Meenakari Jewellery

Minakari Set

Stunning Meenakari art was introduced to Rajasthan artisans by Raja Mansingh of Amer. He invited Lahore-based skilled artisans to his kingdom, and their intermingling with the local craftsmen resulted in an amalgamation, which came to be known as Meenakari.

Meenakari is also a team work, where specialization of skill is of paramount importance.

 In Meenakari, an ornament is crafted in gold & silver and then the artist draw the desired design that is then outlined by the engraver to make the enamel adhere firmly.
