SIMSUM ARTS

There are still several locations in India where meenakari is practised, and each location/state has its own distinct style. For instance, the most common hue in Banaras is rose-pink, while in Lucknow, meenakars prefer to work with blue and green Meenakari rather than silver. In contrast to silver enamelling, which is done in Bikaner, Udaipur, and Nathdwara, enamelling over gold is done in Delhi, Banaras, and Jaipur. On the other side, Pratapgarh is where glass Meenakari is produced. Meenakari is made of metal-quality materials throughout (which is a lot). As a result, Meenakari enamelling is now present on a vast array of objects. Products range from different types of jewellery to materials for home décor and much more. Numerous items such as trays, key chains, fruit baskets, jewellery boxes, and other things are embellished with Mina details.
