Turquoise Inlaying both on jewellery and containers includes a copper, brass, silver, nickel or bronze object on parts of the surface of which small pieces of turquoise are set in mosaic fashion thus giving the object a special glamour. The production of Turquoise Inlaying includes two general stages:
Goldsmith
Goldsmith includes the making and preparation of the object intended for Turquoise Inlaying using one of the metals indicated above. This is done by a goldsmith using hands, press machine or both. After the object is formed generally, be it a piece of jewellery or a container, the part to be turquoise inlaid is demarked and a thin metal strand (of the same material as the metal used in the fabrication of the object) called “kandan” is placed around and soldered onto it. This part around the intended form is a so called wall standing two or three millimetres above the surface of the container. This is usually done by or sometimes the turquoise inlayer himself.
