The Craftsmanship Journey

Material Selection & Shaping

The process begins with high-quality stainless steel sheets. These are precisely cut and shaped using a combination of machine pressing (for structural integrity) and manual finishing to ensure smooth edges and a perfect fit for the lid.

Intricate Engraving (Khodna)

Artisans manually engrave or etch the delicate floral patterns onto the steel surface. This creates the “walls” or grooves that will hold the colorful enamel in place.

Meenakari Enamelling

Using the Meenakari technique, specialized heat-resistant mineral colors (enamels) are carefully filled into the engraved designs. The box is then fired in a kiln, allowing the colors to fuse with the metal, resulting in a vibrant, glass-like finish that won’t fade over time.

Polishing & Protective Coating

After the enameling is set, the box undergoes a multi-stage polishing process to bring out the natural shine of the steel. A final layer of transparent protective lacquer is applied to safeguard the artwork against moisture and daily wear.
