Terracotta Jewellery

Life has been more demanding than normal … I’m normally good at replying to emails or atleast informing those who write to me that I will get back to them… I just believe that if you’ve bestowed your precious time on writing even one email to me, I am honoured and indebted and hence simply have to reply. I feel horrid today!! Only because I saw a few emails in my inbox that I had completely forgotten about. What’s even worst, is just before I found these, I had already deleted & cleared my deleted items folder… So, if I have not replied to your email today, please, please write to me… tell me.. yell at me… but please write to me.. I’m sorry!! I’m normally good at this stuff.

Have you seen Terracotta Jewellery??
Here is featuring Manju who belongs to a small village in Palakkad district in Kerala (India) and about a year ago starting creating these magical jewels as her hobby.

For the first few months, it was a bit of a struggle. As moulding clay into shapes and designs is rather difficult. All these are hand made with very basic tools like bottle caps, tooth picks, etc. The process is obviously same as making pottery. No colouring agent is used … these are naturally beautiful & unique.

Her husband Satish, maintains Jewels out of clay for her, where they keep a few pictures of her work.

Satish & Manju sell these products through exhibitions.


I love this one... and think its gorgeous...
