About

A fine silver wire-work craft distinct in style from its Odisha counterpart, producing delicate jewellery and decorative pieces through intricate hand-twisted and soldered filigree patterns unique to the Karimnagar region.

Did you know? Karimnagar's filigree artisans traditionally work almost entirely by touch and eye without magnification, hand-twisting silver wire finer than a human hair into elaborate patterns using techniques passed down within families for generations.
