Welcome to a world where art, culture, and history unite in a sublime symphony of beauty and craftsmanship. The GiTAGGED® Bidriware Silver Inlay Big Star Bangle is not just a piece of jewelry; it is a testament to an age-old tradition that dates back to the 16th century. Exclusively handmade by artisans in Bidar, Karnataka, this bangle embodies the spirit of intricate artistry and dedicated craftsmanship.
Bidriware, an exquisite form of metalwork, traces its origins to the Persian artisans who migrated to India in the medieval period. The magic of Bidriware lies in its creation process, uniquely influenced by the soil of the Bidar fort, which has unparalleled oxidizing properties. This soil turns zinc, a naturally white metal, into a mesmerizing black hue, providing a stunning background for pure silver inlay work.
The Inlay Material of the GiTAGGED® Bangle comprises pure silver, ensuring that the patterns not only exhibit stunning luster but also stand the test of time. The incorporation of pure silver enhances the overall elegance and sophistication of the bangle.
Special attention has been given to the inlay type, incorporating an intricate Wire-Star design that is meticulously crafted by hand. This delicate star pattern stands out beautifully against the blackened zinc-copper alloy, creating a striking contrast.
The base of the bangle is crafted from a blend of zinc and copper (with a ratio of 16:1), which ensures durability without compromising on aesthetic appeal. This unique combination also contributes to the traditional black finish, making each piece a true work of art.
Weighing just 35 grams, this bangle is lightweight, making it suitable for extended wear without any discomfort. Despite its lightness, the bangle maintains robustness, ensuring long-lasting wear.
This exquisite bangle is versatile enough to complement both ethnic and casual ensembles, making it an essential addition to any jewelry collection. Whether you are dressing up for a festive occasion or looking to add a touch of elegance to your everyday attire, this piece adapts with ease.
