Meenakari came to India from Persia in the 16th century and was nurtured by Rajasthan’s royal courts. While Jaipur’s artisans became known for enamel on gold, Udaipur’s \u003cem\u003emeenakars\u003c\/em\u003e became masters of the harder art of enamelling silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Pichola earrings are named after Udaipur’s famous lake, and their glowing cobalt blue enamel looks like its waters at dusk. Emerald-green leaves are hand-painted across the blue in a scattered vine pattern, outlined in fine white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMaking meenakari is slow, careful work. The design is first engraved into the silver. Then each colour is filled in by hand and fired one at a time, which gives the enamel its glassy, jewel-like shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe enamel sits in a teardrop of 925 sterling silver, framed by hand-curled silver spirals, and hangs from a round domed stud with a beaded rim. At 5 cm long, it makes a statement while still being easy to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWear them with a white kurta, an indigo or Ajrakh saree, or a denim shirt or black dress for an Indo-western look.
