Get adorned ethnically
|
Mamta of Tribal Route says, "The fashion, these days is about getting wild, bigger designs are in vogue and people are wearing huge pieces of jewellery. Camel is a huge animal which fits into the demands for larger pieces of raw material very well." Work done with extremely delicate and intricate carving, engraving, embossing and performing floral or geometrical designs and patterns with high degree of perfection is also selectively available but mostly in the overseas markets.

About the look with camel bone jewellery, designers across agree it is universal. Geti Arts and Crafts specialises in trinkets that can be worn with regular salwar kameez , jeans, skirts and everyday wear sarees . On the other hand there is Tribal Route, which sells heavier and combinative versions of the same, which lend a totally different look to the wearer. Camel bone jewellery embellished with brass and silver instantly adds that imperial look that almost gives it the look of an heirloom. Camel bone jewellery with gemstones inlaid and with intricately carved silver and brass clasps are in a class of their own.
Camel bone is also employed in making bone beads, which are used to make pretty strings of necklaces and earrings etc. Bones are an organic substance made of calcium phosphate and gelatinous protein compounds. It lends itself to bead making very well. Camel bone beads are extremely authentic and have a pleasing and sharp appearance that befits any personality, colour or taste. Since these beads are still hand carved each one is unique. Says Nihar Mehta of Tribal Route, "That is what makes handcrafted jewellery a pleasure to wear. It is unique because no two pieces will ever be the same."
There is a unique blend of ethnicity as well as avant-garde about camel bone jewellery, which makes it an interesting piece of accessory. No wonder, its appeal is growing among the fashion-conscious populace. So this summer, while the chunky look and unconventional jewellery is so hot, rush and pick up your choices. Worn right, it might just transform you into a diva.
