Nettoor Petti Jewellery Box
This ethnic jewelry box known as Nettoor Petti is one of a kind and was once the mark of aristocracy in Kerala (south India), the place of its origin.
Very few well-experienced craftsmen who learned this from their ancestors are carrying out this craft now. Each and every part of this box is handmade with utmost care and precision.
The Nettoor Petti is made using principles of Thachushastram, Kerala’s ancient architectural science. Each jewelry box is handcrafted from 7 parts of wood in its lower half and 4 parts wood in its top half.
Generally, mahogany or rosewood is used in crafting, and the wood is cut to precise measurements using specific tools only available to the artisans in this area.
Even the nails used to put the box together are crafted by hand.
Once each box is finished it is designed with brass artwork and handpainted in designs inspired by Murals in the local area of Kerala.
The exquisite and intricate designs of brass adornments and the special rose wood work make Nettoor boxes true masterpieces.
