Zardozi and Traditional Embroidered Ornaments

These unique Christmas decorations are made using the traditional method of zardozi embroidery. Zari (meaning gold) embroidery originated in Persia and reached India in the 12th century. It is a highly skilled embroidery technique that traditionally used gold wires and jewels to embellish courtly robes. Here those same techniques are used to great effect in producing fine Christmas ornaments. There are a limited number of such skilled artisans today who can create these challenging pieces. We are delighted to be able to offer these Zardozi Ornaments to you to enliven your Christmas tree this year.
