Semi-Precious Stones Used in Inlay

The floral inlay design is created using a combination of natural semi-precious stones, such as:

• Red Jasper – used for flower petals
• Green Malachite – used for leaves and stems
• Black Onyx – for fine detailing
• Yellow Jasper / Agate – for accent highlights

(Exact stone shades may vary slightly due to the natural characteristics of the stones.)

History of Pietra Dura / Marble Inlay Art

Marble inlay art, also known as Pietra Dura, dates back to the 16th century and flourished in India under the Mughal Empire. This intricate art form was famously used to decorate the Taj Mahal, royal palaces, and monuments.

Artisans carefully carve grooves into marble and set precisely cut semi-precious stones into the surface, creating detailed floral and geometric patterns. This centuries-old craft has been passed down through generations and remains a symbol of luxury, patience, and fine craftsmanship.
