Thewa Jewelry is a unique type of jewelry originated in the state Rajasthan in 1767 under the patronage of Maharawat Samant Singh. Theva locally means “setting”. Theva is a traditional art that requires great skill. It involves fusion of 24kt gold with multicolored glass. Pure gold sheets are fitted in a bed of resin and then the whole design is pierced on the gold sheet. The finished sheet known as the Theva Ki Patti is slowly and carefully taken out and is placed on the colored glass base. This unit gets fused when heated on in open crucible. Each unit has a flat piece of red, green or blue glass usually depicting ruby, sapphire or emerald. The colored glass is given a special treatment to produce more glitter to highlight the gold jewelry. The Theva jewelry with its breathtaking intricate designs and the raging colors enjoys a worldwide appeal and popularity.
