What is Bone Inlay and Mother of Pearl Inlay?

Before we dive into the world of gift-giving, it’s essential to understand the artistry behind bone inlay and mother of pearl inlay. These techniques are centuries-old, with their roots in traditional Indian craftsmanship.

Bone Inlay: Bone inlay is a meticulous process that involves carving and shaping pieces of bone (often camel bone) and inlaying them into wooden surfaces. The bone is often dyed in different colours, adding depth and vibrancy to the designs. This technique requires immense skill, as the artisans must carefully work with the bone to create delicate, detailed patterns.

Mother of Pearl Inlay: Mother of pearl is the iridescent lining found inside certain molluscs, like oysters. The process of mother of pearl inlay involves cutting and shaping thin slices of this lustrous material and embedding them into a base, usually wood or metal. The soft, pearly glow of mother of pearl adds a touch of sophistication and luxury, making it a sought-after material for high-end decorative pieces.

At Mahlia Interiors, these two beautiful materials come together to create stunning, one-of-a-kind pieces that transform any space and make for exceptional gifts.
