    GiTAGGED® Bidriware Bidri Work Leaf Bangle (Single)

    Introduction to Bidriware

    Bidriware is an exquisite metalwork tradition originating from the ancient lands of Persia (modern-day Iran) and brought to India by the Bahmani Sultans in the 14th century. Over centuries, it has evolved and found a prominent place in the artistic domain of Bidar District, Karnataka, India. Bidriware is well-known for its intricate designs, impeccable craftsmanship, and the unique contrast of pure silver inlays on a stunning black background achieved through a special oxidization process.

    The GiTAGGED® Bidriware Bidri Work Leaf Bangle (Single) is an embodiment of this artistic tradition. This particular piece is noted for its seamless integration of historical craftsmanship and contemporary design aesthetics, making it a versatile accessory for both ethnic and casual occasions.

    Craftsmanship and Process

    The GiTAGGED® Bidriware Bidri Work Leaf Bangle is handcrafted by Shri Abdul Hakeem, Chief Craftsman of the GI Panchayath Bidar, ensuring unparalleled quality and authenticity. Here’s a step-by-step look into the meticulous process involved in crafting this beautiful piece:

    1. Creating the Alloy Base: The base of the bangle is made from an alloy comprising zinc and copper. Zinc makes up about 96% of the alloy, while copper constitutes the remaining 4%. This specific combination provides the required malleability and durability for intricate designs.

    2. Moulding: The alloy is melted and poured into molds to shape the base. Skilled craftsmen ensure that the mold forms are perfect to provide the desired structure to the ornaments.

    3. Filing and Smoothing: Once cooled, the base is filed and smoothened to create a flawless surface. Any imperfections are meticulously corrected to ensure a uniform surface for further design work.

    4. Design Engraving: Traditional tools are used to engrave intricate designs onto the surface of the bangle. This is done with exceptional precision, often featuring floral and foliage patterns as seen in the Bidri Work Leaf Bangle.

    5. Inlay Work: Pure silver wire is then delicately inlaid into the engraved grooves. The silver contrasts beautifully against the darker alloy, creating a striking visual effect.

    6. Oxidization: The defining characteristic of Bidriware is its black finish, achieved through a unique oxidization process. The soil obtained from the Bidar fort, known for its magical oxidizing properties, is applied to turn the alloy into an intense black color while the silver inlays retain their sheen. This reaction is a well-guarded secret passed down through generations.

    7. Polishing: The final step involves a thorough polishing process that brings out the lustrous shine of the silver against the jet-black background, making each piece a work of art.
