These unique Christmas decorations are made using the traditional method of zardozi embroidery.
Zardozi comes from two Persian words: zar or zarin meaning 'gold', and dozi meaning 'sewing' and originated in Persia and reached India in the 12th century.
It is a highly skilled embroidery technique that traditionally used gold wires and jewels to embellish courtly robes.
Here those same techniques are used to great effect in producing fine Christmas ornaments.
There are a limited number of such skilled artisans today who can create these challenging pieces.

We are delighted to be working with a highly skilled embroidery studio in India that has produced these fine pieces for us.
Their quality is all we could have hoped for and even surpassed our expectations.
We trust you will be delighted with them as well as you use them this Christmas.
