Traditional Thewa Pendant Set 11202  

raditional Thewa Pendant Set (Double Layer):

The actual value of a Thewa Jewellery lies in the skill that has gone into making it. Thewa is a traditional art of fusing 23K Gold with multi-coloured glass. The glass is treated by a special process to have glittering effects, which in turn highlights the intricate gold work. The whole Thewa piece is hand crafted over a period of one month by skilled artisans.

Thewa the exquisite art of jewellery making from the land of royal colours- Rajasthan, conceived during Mughal dynasty around 350 years ago. The art was started by a single family of Marwar, who shared the secret of its making amongst them, generation to generation, virtually unchanged. Beginning of this unique art is still a mystery. Thewa, an art that pulsates with life, caught seemingly in movement, in motifs used on jewellery, which shows the culture, heritage and tales of romance and valour of Rajasthan with nature and happiness depicting the art of the fine craftsmanship.

The process of making thewa work is detailed, time consuming and intricate, taking up to a month to complete each piece. It starts with broken pieces of terracotta, finely ground, mixed with chemicals and oil to produce a thick paste. The paste spread on a wooden base has a 23carat gold sheet of 40gauge thickness set onto the mixture and the free hand design etched on it. Black paint spread over the gold sheet that highlights the design so it becomes clearly visible for further detailed work with fine tools. The design of Thewa jewellery is often based on the Hindu mythology or Mughal court scenes, historical events or with flora and fauna motifs.
