DESCRIPTION

      Vintage items are typically sought after for their uniqueness, historical value, and craftsmanship. In the context of jewelry or artifacts, vintage pieces are often considered collectible and may have a certain charm or character associated with the time period in which they were created.

 

      Edwardian: The Edwardian era in British history was known for its elegance, sophistication, and attention to detail in fashion and design. During this time, jewelry styles incorporated elements such as delicate filigree work, intricate metalwork, and the use of gemstones in light, airy settings. Edwardian jewelry often featured motifs such as bows, ribbons, flowers, and garlands, with a focus on white metals such as platinum or white gold.

 

        The Mughal Empire was a significant Islamic dynasty that ruled over a large part of the  subcontinent from the 16th to the 19th century. Mughal jewelry was highly influenced by Persian and Islamic artistic traditions and is characterized by its opulence, use of precious gemstones, and intricate craftsmanship. Mughal jewelry often featured motifs inspired by nature, such as flowers, leaves, and birds, and utilized techniques like enameling, filigree work, and stone settings.

 

       "Indian Handmade" indicates that the piece was crafted by skilled artisans in India. Indian craftsmanship has a long and rich tradition, with various regions and communities specializing in different techniques. Jewelry making in India often involves intricate metalwork, stone setting, enameling, and other traditional techniques passed down through generations.

 

         Amber: Amber is a fossilized tree resin that has solidified over millions of years. It is primarily found in shades of golden yellow, ranging from translucent to opaque. Amber often contains natural inclusions such as insects, plant matter, or air bubbles, which add to its visual appeal and scientific interest. In jewelry, amber is commonly used for beads, pendants, and carved ornaments. It is valued for its warm color, organic origins, and the unique patterns and inclusions found within each piece.    

 

         When these elements come together, Vintage Edwardian Mughal Indian Handmade Amber signifies a piece of jewelry or artifact that combines the design aesthetics and craftsmanship of the Edwardian era and the Mughal Empire, created by Indian artisans using traditional techniques, and featuring amber as a prominent material. Such pieces are prized for their historical significance, cultural fusion, and the exquisite beauty resulting from the combination of these artistic influences.

MUGHAL IMAGES

The Mughal Images immediately took a much greater interest in realistic portraiture than was typical of Persian miniatures. Animals and plants were the main subject of many miniatures for albums and were more realistically depicted. To upload your images click here.
