Moti Beaded Single Thewa Set
Thewa Jewellery is the most commendable jewellery art that originates from the royal land of Rajasthan. It was originated about hundred and fifty years ago, and it one form of jewellery making that breaks all the conventions. Usually, jewellery is created with designing a base metal like silver or gold and enameling it with meena, kundan, diamonds, or engraving it to create designs, but Thewa art uses molten colored glass as the base, which is embossed with an intricately worked-out sheet of gold.
The design themes used in Thewa art range from floral patterns, Historical mughal courtly scenes, scenes from
battles, portraits of queens and hindu mythology, most popular being krishna leela scenes.
Unlike other form of Jewellery the actual value or price of a Thewa Jewellery lies in the skill and the time that goes into hand crafting each incredible piece of jewellery rather than the intrinsic value of gold.
Thewa Jewellery was discovered by the Mughal dynasty in seventeenth century, roughly about 400 years ago and was very popular among many Maharajas and their Courts men.
Pratapgarh, a small city in Chittorgarh district of Rajasthan for many decades was the only place in the world where this Jewellery was being designed.
