As the first drops of monsoon hit the parched earth with the pitter-patter of raindrops, we get a refreshing scent of the freshly watered soil. Petrichor is the aroma of the earth when tempered with the first rain. This delightful scent of the soil is caused by the bacteria Streptomyces living in it. Bacteria keep soil healthy by cleaning up decayed plant material and are critical in the sustenance of the planet. Petrichor is the newest capsule of handcrafted jewellery by Maya, inspired by the little creepy crawlies that revitalize the earth.
Here we see Ramesh linking semi-precious stones and gundis onto a very delicate zari thread following a technique of gundikaam. The tension in making the gundis has to be uniform and requires extreme diligence. A little extra tug and higher the chances of the thread breaking. Ramesh does it with perfection and that is why he is one of the best we have!
