This art of Meenakari work originated in Persia. It was at the turn of the 16th century during the Mughal era when Raja Man Singh of Amber introduced the art to India through Rajasthan.

Initially, meenakari was done at the back of precious polki jewellery but as time passed by, this became a jewellery style of its own.

Do you know the origin of the word Meena? It is the feminine form of Minoo in Persian, referring to the azure (blue) color of heaven.

That’s the reason blue remains the prominent colour in the enamaling however other colors are also used like red, green, white.
