Nathdwara, a small town in Rajasthan has a tradition of doing enamel work on silver. This technique, enameling, is very popular in Rajasthan. The designs are first etched on the surface on which enameling is to be done. The surface is then fully burnished with agate. The various stones are then filled in their respective places. The piece is now placed on a mica plate and kept in the furnace. The mica plate is used to prevent its direct contact with fire. Colors are applied according to their hardness. The ones, which require more heat, are filled in first and so on. When it is taken out from the furnace finally, it is rubbed with a file very gently and cleaned with lemon juice or tamarind to give the shine. It is a very long and painstaking process, yet the craftsmen have very expert and swift hands in producing lovely enameled jewelry in Rajasthan.
