Bangles are an inseparable part of Indian life!
Since times immemorial bangles have been made and used b y women all over. This is particularly to in India, where bangles are part and parcel of any women's fashion accessory. Though mostly used for personal adornment purposes, bangles also symbolise other things like the solemnization of marriages, etc. metal bangles made of precious metals like gold, silver, etc have also been a hit with these highly demanding customers here.
While handmade bangles made of the precious metals are a rage, all the same, it is the lesser material like while metal (or German silver as it is otherwise called) that have proved to be bigger hit everywhere. Handmade metal bangles made of German silver is something that have become part of Gujarati traditional handcraft cottage industry for long now. They are also produce and used in large quantities in the neighbouring and equally craft rich state of Rajasthan as well.
Handmade metal bangles are made in Gujarat, Rajasthan and elsewhere!
Ahmedabad is big and highly successful centre of white metal craft. There are entire markets in the city that are engaged only in selling handmade metal bangles here. During the festive month of the Navratras, the maximum sale of metal bangles handcrafted in this manner occurs here.
In Rajasthan too, the handmade metal bangles made of German silver are very much sought after and entire communities are involved in its production and silver. The Rajasthani artisans make the handmade metal bangles mainly using white metal and also Patwa threads. The Patwa threads are locally made threads that are used to strung the bangle together along the metal surface.
There is particular caste of craftspersons involved in working with Patwa threads for centuries in this Western state of India. Over time, the thread itself came to be known after them. Patwa threads are cnsidered to be very strong and durable and are considered b y many people in this part of India to be very auspicious as well.
The fact that they are made of white metal does not mean at all that these bangles are any inferior to their more pricy counterparts made of gold or silver. White metal is an alloy of tin and a few other metals and retains all the qualities that one associates with silver. These are malleability, ductility, lasting shine, etc.
Not to speak of the extremely low prices in which most ornaments and other articles meant for personal adornment made of German silver or white metal sell everywhere.
