Bidriware is an ancient art form that originates from Bidar, Karnataka, dating back to around the 16th century. The specialty of this craft lies in its unique oxidizing soil which transforms the zinc alloy into a striking black color, creating a perfect contrast to the intricate pure silver inlay. Each piece is painstakingly created by skilled artisans, with Shri Ramesh, Chief Craftsmen of the GI Panchayath in Bidar, leading the meticulous production process.
The pendant features intricate wire work made from pure silver. The precision and craftsmanship involved in creating such delicate patterns are remarkable. Each silver wire is carefully manipulated and inlaid into the surface design, which results in an exquisite jewelry piece that retains its luster and intricacy over time.
The base metal used in the pendant is a carefully balanced alloy of Zinc and Copper, in the ratio of 16:1, to ensure both durability and the characteristic finish of Bidriware. This combination of metals not only provides robustness to the structure but also plays a crucial role in the oxidizing process that defines Bidriware.
With a diameter of 3 centimeters, this pendant strikes a perfect balance between being a statement piece and a subtle accessory that can complement both ethnic and casual attire. Weighing only 25 grams, it ensures comfort without compromising on the elegance and style.
The crafting process of Bidriware is truly one-of-a-kind. It starts with shaping the alloy of Zinc and Copper into the desired form. Following this, the intricate designs are carefully demarcated, and pure silver wires are then inlaid into these patterns. The pendant is then treated with a special blackening agent derived from the soil of Bidar Fort, giving it the characteristic deep black finish, which enhances the brilliance of the silver inlay.
The GiTAGGED® Bidriware Silver Inlay 6 Circles Pendant is versatile enough to be worn on various occasions. Its ethnic appeal makes it a perfect accessory for traditional events, festivals, and weddings. Simultaneously, its unique design also makes it suitable for casual wear, providing a touch of elegance and style to everyday outfits.

The GI application number for Bidriware is 20, and it stands as the 21st GI Product of India.
The true charm of Bidriware lies in the soil found at the Bidar Fort, which has magical oxidizing properties.
