Minakari art was a remarkable innovation of the Mogul in metal craft and can be rightly described as Moguls vision of 'Paradise on Earth'. The art was popular among both the Moguls and the princes of Rajasthan. The art formed an integral past of Indian jewellery as five skilled enamel workers were invited by Raja Man Singh of Jaipur. Minakari is the art of coloring and embellishing the surface of metals by fusing over it gleaming colors of intricate patterns. Traditionally gold was employed in Minakari but in present times silver is extensively used to bring luster and finesse in the ornament. The technique of this art entails perseverance and deliberation. In Minakari an ornament is crafted in silver and then the artist draws the desired design. It is then outlined by the engraver to make the enamel adhere firmly to the metal. Enameller then brushes the ornament on the engraved design with special colors called mina in red, green, black, yellow, blue etc. A single piece of mina pass through many hands before it reaches completion. A distinctive look is rendered by the floral and designs of nature on the ornament. Minakari is truly nature captivated in silver. Minakari in 19 different color combinations in precious and semiprecious stones.
