Terracotta Jewellery

Terracotta has been one of the earliest forms of creative self-expression used by human beings. The artifacts and handicrafts created have a pretty good market acceptance across all age groups, being specially made in Kolkata. The terracotta clay is molded by hand and various techniques such as pinching, coiling, slabbing and carving are used to form desired shapes out of the clay. Individual parts are also molded and fired separately, which are then strung together with small beads or colorful hangings to make earrings and necklaces.
