Description
About the Craft:: The lambadi tribal jewellery is made through a rigorous heating, melting and pressing process. Made from melted old coin metal, procured locally, these unique pieces are shaped and stamped in wax moulds. The metal is then cleansed in acid to bring out the natural colour of the metal to life. The different pieces are then brought together to create ethnic jewels including bangles, Necklaces, nose pins and rings, anklets and more.
