16 Jul 2025 Ethnic Terracotta Jewelry
Terracotta jewelry from India is a popular and traditional form of jewelry that has been crafted for centuries. “Terracotta” is derived from the Italian words “terra” (earth) and “cotta” (cooked). Terracotta jewelry is primarily made from natural clay. Artisans often mix the clay with other natural materials like straw or sawdust to improve its texture and strength. Once the jewelry is shaped, it is sun-dried or baked in a kiln to harden the clay. Then it is fired at relatively low temperatures, typically in the range of 1,000 to 2,000oF (600 to 1,100oC).
Terracotta jewelry is known for its earthy and rustic appearance. It is typically left unglazed, which gives it a matte finish. However, artisans use various natural pigments to add color to the jewelry. Common colors include red, brown, black, and shades of orange. These colors are often inspired by the local soil and landscape. Sometimes, clay jewelries are coated with some glazes and refire at glaze melting temperature to give a glossy appearance.[/vc_column_text]
