Meet Our ArtisansThe Art of Kashmiri Paper Mache Jewelry Boxes
Kashmiri paper mache jewelry boxes are handmade using a centuries-old technique dating back to the 15th century, when the craft was brought to the Kashmir valley. Artisans mould layers of recycled paper pulp over wooden frames, sun-dry them, then hand-paint intricate Chinar leaf and floral motifs using fine squirrel-hair brushes — often finished with real 22k gold leaf. Each box takes several days to complete, making every piece a one-of-a-kind heirloom. Popular as wedding gifts, jewelry storage, and decorative keepsakes, these boxes ship worldwide directly from our workshop in Srinagar.
