Care

Moisture: Brass tarnishes with moisture. Keep absolutely dry.

Impact: The central painting is glass-powder fused to metal. Do not drop on hard surfaces, as the enamel can crack.

Storage: Store in the Gullye dust bag to prevent the Kundan stones from scratching the painted faces.

The Story Behind

  • The Miniature Portrait.

    Before photography, there was Meenakari.

    Master Artisan Ratan treats these earrings like tiny canvases. The challenge here is the detail of the faces. The central panel is barely the size of a coin. Ratan must use a brush made of a single squirrel hair to paint the King's mustache and the Queen's eyes.

    Once the painting is fired and set, he frames it with a border of Kundan-style stones. This halo acts like a frame in a gallery drawing the eye inward to the art. It is a tribute to the royal courts of Rajasthan, where art was worn as often as it was displayed.

    History in the making.
