Precious and semi-precious stones are set into a metallic base that is stitched onto fabric. The setting technique (borrowed from jewelry making) uses gold or silver wire to create bezels for each stone. This creates a jewel-encrusted effect on fabric, often used for royal and bridal wear.
Originally a jewelry technique from Rajasthan, Jadau was adapted for textiles to create garments that match traditional Indian jewelry. It represents the pinnacle of luxury in Indian fashion.
