Intriguing Information on Indian Marble Jewelry Boxes
India is a country well-known for its famous marble and marble products. In memory of the beautiful wife of the Mughal Empreror Shah Jahan, he built the Taj Mahal entirely in marble. Curios, like jewelry boxes, sold in the marketplace of India are made with marble. Big marble jewelry boxes are given to brides from Kashmir and Lucknow as part of tradition. The box is usually decorated with tassels and covered with velvet.
Whenever the bride leaves her father's house, she carries with her the marble box to bring to her husband's house. People from the North not only use these boxes for storing their precious jewels but also for holding their holy books. The holy book of the Muslims, the Quran, is kept in an ornate box and placed on the top shelf of their cupboard. In order to bring out their natural shine, marble stones are cut, shaped and polished in factories.
A semi precious stone, the onyx, is also sought after because of its translucent and colorful undertones. Marble jewelry boxes come in various shapes and colors and their cost depends on the work done on the box. Marble jewelry boxes most commonly come in octagon, round, oval, square, oval, round, rectangle, and heart shaped. The mesh designs are usually carved on the sides and on the lids of these boxes as well.
Various designs are also painted on these boxes using a combination of gold and black or silver and black paints. There are marble boxes with stone work carefully done to give them brilliance and color. Marble comes in pastel shades of pink, smoky grey, green, and black. They go through various stages of processing in factories in order to get these shades. The Jaipur marble boxes are not just light weight, they are also extremely attractive.
Jewelry and other precious materials are safe because of the fine latches attached to these boxes. Some boxes are shaped like a handbag with a handle and the latch is usually made of brass. You'll find the popular black marble box with Mughal designs so exquisite. There are also marble boxes inlaid with the image of the Taj Mahal; the contrast is superb with the black marble box with white inlay work.
There are also shells and bead work done on some marble boxes. Bangle boxes made of marble are quite beautiful with precious stones embedded on them. There are boxes with enamel work in different colors. To fix the enamel work on it, aluminum beading is commonly used.
These fine marble boxes are carefully handcrafted and carved by creative artisans in remote villages in Rajasthan and the Pink City in Jaipur. These artisans use tools that they make themselves and it is believed that they do not use another craftsman's tools.
While men do he carvings and the designs, the women do the ornaments with stone work.These people rely heavily on making these marble boxes as their only livelihood. The jewelry boxes are sent to Agra and other tourist centers to be sold.
Indeed, one of the best souvenirs you can take home is a beautifully ornamented marble jewelry box from India.
