Each pair of these exquisite earrings is an epitome of elegance, crafted with painstaking attention to detail, showcasing the mesmerizing allure of Bidriware.
Inlay Material: The distinctive feature of these earrings is the inlay of pure silver. The intricate wire work in pure silver creates a captivating contrast against the deep black base metal, enhancing the visual appeal and making each piece a true work of art.
Inlay Type: The inlay type used is wire work, which involves embedding fine silver wires into the metal surface. This technique ensures that the silver designs are both intricate and durable, allowing the elegance of the silver to shine through while maintaining the robustness of the earring.
Base Metal: These earrings are made using a blend of zinc and copper, where zinc forms the majority. This combination not only provides the necessary strength but also enables the oxidation process that gives the earrings their distinctive black hue.

Weight: Each earring weighs 15 grams, ensuring they are lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear without compromising on the sturdiness and quality.

The creation of these exquisite earrings involves a multi-step process that combines traditional techniques with modern artistry. The process begins with preparing the base metal. The alloy of zinc and copper is heated and then cast into the desired shape. Once cooled, the surface is polished to achieve a smooth finish.
Next, intricate designs are carved into the surface, creating grooves that will hold the silver wires. The pure silver wires are then carefully hammered into these grooves, and excess silver is smoothed out to create a flush, seamless design. The piece is then oxidized using soil from the Bidar fort, which gives the base metal its characteristic black color while leaving the silver inlay untouched.
Finally, the earring is polished again to bring out the brilliance of the silver and the deep black of the metal, resulting in a beautiful, high-contrast appearance.
