Product Specifications

The Story Behind Your Jewelry

Unlike standard enameling, the Gulabi Meenakari of Varanasi is remarkably rare. Artisans painstakingly etch intricate grooves into the metal before fusing crushed glass and metal oxides in a high-temperature furnace. The iconic pink brushstrokes are applied on a white background using natural dyes, requiring multiple precise rounds of kiln firing.
