The name Bidri comes from the region Bidar in Karnataka, which still remains the principle manufacturing zone for this art. The designs for this are inspired by both, Indian and International themes. Initially conceived as a form of art during the time of the Bahami Sultans of Karnataka in the Bidar lands along the 13th and 15th centuries, Bidri was later used in the manufacture of jewellery as well. It is made of copper and zinc, where zinc imparts it with its black polish while copper adds temporary colours to the adornments. Simplistic, yet enshrined with the luxury of past royals like the Nizams in Hyderabad, Bidri is often engraved in several patterns, from flowers to silvery filigree. The skilled artisans from Southern regions of India beautifully engrave patterns of various flowers, leaves and human figures to leave an indelible mark of their work across the world through these black metallic jewelry. Bidri designs are uncomplicated yet intricate which are known to make the products look enchanting. Highly alluring and eye-catching, the Bidri work makes the products absolutely stylish yet classic!
