What Makes It Awesome
Our eyes were literally gleaming at their wide range of white metal silver-plated cutlery like plates, cups, wine glasses, jugs and even tea pots. If you look carefully, you will notice intricate designs engraved on the cutlery. The silverware starts a low as INR 300 and goes up to INR 4m500.
If you're a hoarder of junk jewellery, why not splurge a bit and get hold of a pair of antique silver earrings or a neckpiece. We couldn't help but get ourselves ear studs, nose pins and even rings. All the pieces have been handcrafted by skilled local artisans and are priced as per the market rate of silver, which is currently INR 40 per gram.
What Could Be Better
Most of the silverware are covered with plastic sheets and stored inside cabinets. So keep your eyes peeled for the unique gems.
Pro-Tip
We couldn't help drooling over a silver-plated trophy with beautiful motifs engraved on its body. Stock your cabinet with their sleek wine glasses, which are half silver and half gold plated.
