Swasthik Terracotta jewelry


    Born out of a desire to create unique ethnic Indian jewellery, Swasthik showcases the whole range of exquisite terracotta jewellery. The exquisite collection includes terracotta jewellery sets as well as just earrings and pendants to suit the dressing style of women of all ages.The jewellery is painstakingly molded by skilled artists and then hand-painted in myriad of colours to complement ethnic as well as Indo-western outfits. 

    The process involves purifying the clay, shaping and designing the wet slab. After drying it completely it is fired in a kiln at a very high temperature to give it a stone consistency. When clay is fired, it can take a natural brick colour or shades of brown, pink, or even white, depending on the quality of clay. When clay is fired in the kiln with saw dust, it is burnt a natural black. It is then hand-painted in a myriad of colours to complement ethnic as well as Indo-western outfits.
