Jewelry Boxes: a Beautiful Combination of Stone and Gem Inlay
Despite their Heavy Weight, jewelry boxes in stone can be one of the most ornate possessions you own. Jewelry boxes like these beautify the place they are kept in. They are a pretty way to store your jewelry pieces as well.
Jewelry boxes made of stone come in several shapes and sizes. There are also a number of stones from which they can be created. Every one of these stone boxes can be enhanced further with several decorative techniques like carving and gem inlay work. The exclusivity of these boxes depends on how intricate the work is. Marble is one of the most popular stones used in the making of stone jewelry boxes.
Boxes of Indian origin have significant cultural importance attached to them. In Kashmir and Lucknow, brides are given their jewelry in large marble jewelry cases. For North Indians, marble jewelry boxes such as these are used to store religious books like the Ramayana and the Koran as well.
{In the making of these boxes, the marble is cut to the size needed and then polished to bring forth a natural sheen.|When making these boxes, they are cut down to the size required and then polished to bring out their natural sheen. Emperor Shahjahan and the artisans behind the Taj Mahal inspired marble boxes that were made up in gem inlay work.
Beautiful floral patterns are created out of gemstones like carnelian, lapis lazuli, jasper as well as reconstituted turquoise. Small boxes can use up to 500 gemstones in the creation of a design. A combination of a number of natural minerals and coupling agents is what makes Incolay which is actually derived from the words "in-layers-of color".
Gorgeous variegations are formed when the different strata of natural stone then come together. Artwork in white is then done to further enhance it. Scenery or floral based scenes are usually created. Designs can be like a windblown ship at sea or dolphins jumping in water or even a family of penguins.
Another popular style in India are boxes made of Gorara stone. Metamorphic rock is where this soap stone comes from and it is used in the making of sculptures. Common in Indian architecture is perforated ornamental work known as ‘jali’ and this is used in decorating soapstone boxes. Some artisans choose their stones based on the kind of work they want done on it.
The Huamanga stone, though fragile has been the choice of a few artisans especially for the creation of religious motifs. After the detailing, they are sanded over to get that natural finish. Another popular material is sandstone that is used in the making of jewelry boxes. They are available in a range of colors like Dholpur Beige or the Bansi Paharpur Pink and are popularly used in India. Other colors available are Karauli or the Agra Red and the Jaisalmer Yellow.
Gem inlay is largely done on marble and onyx boxes but lately an innovation has been the use of crushed gemstones in inlay work. Nuggets of gemstones are manually crushed into varying textures. Crevices that have been carved are then filled with these crushed gems. Turquoise, malachite and coral are among the common stones used this way. The texture vary from beach sand - fine to coarse flakes and even stone chips.
So there is nothing holding you back from getting yourself or a loved one a thing of beauty. Go right ahead and get yourself one to enhance your collection or that of a loved one.
