  • Heating the Lac

The process begins with raw lac, a natural resin collected from trees. This resin is hardened in its crude state, and therefore, the artisans soften it by heating it over a fire of charcoal.

  • Adding Colours

Once the lac is softened, natural colors and powders are mixed in to create its unique color. The colors are well selected, and mostly, they are based on cultural themes, weddings, and festivals. The mixture is also mixed by hand to make the color well distributed throughout the resin and form a good foundation for the bangle.
  • Shaping the Bangle

The soft lac is beaten into long strips. The strips are looped around a metal rod or a wooden rod and curled into circles. The artisan folds, pulls, and shapes the lac to achieve the appropriate size. All the steps should be carried out with care because a slight error may alter the shape or size.
  • Decorating and Designing

In this stage magic happens. The bangle is embedded with stones, pieces of glass, beads, and even gold foil when the lac is warm and pliable. Our Store is always made up of skilled artisans who tend to make every design unique by using floral and geometric designs. The decorations not only make every piece beautiful, but also they provide some cultural symbolism to the piece.
  • Cooling and Polishing

In the end, the bangles are left to cool at room temperature so they become hard and keep their shape. After cooling, they are polished with natural oils or powders to make them shiny. This smooth finish makes them strong and comfortable to wear every day.Each craftsman in our store spends hours, even days, to make a piece of eco-friendly bangle. The process you can see in these images.
