Meenakari is a form of enamelling traditionally done on the reverse end of jewellery to protect the gold from wear and tear. This craft was first brought to Jaipur by Sawai Man Singh I from Lahore. The designs are geometric patterns needing a high degree of skill to produce. This is one of the reasons that the meena and kundan craft forms have complimented each other helping create homogenous pieces of jewellery.

The base metal used are gold, silver and copper; gold being the most preferred due to its ability to take many colours. The base is first created by the sonar (goldsmith) on which the design is etched out, floral and birds are famous traditional motifs of choice. Then a chatter (engraver) creates indents in the piece that will hold the colour. Finally, a meenakar (enameller) fills the space up with a colour which is then fired to help the colour spread evenly. The process is repeated for all the different colours. After colling the product is fired again and treated with acidic agents like lemon.
