The skilled artisans that hand-crafted your piece use ancient techniques in India which are handed down from generation to generation. These techniques involve a three-step method that starts with intricately hand-carving fragments of ethically-sourced bone, which are then affixed onto a base in a mosaic-like design. To finish, the resin is used to fill the space around the bone. Because of this, no two pieces are the same, but with a little love, your unique piece will remain with you for a lifetime.
Keep your bone inlay piece in the family by following these tips:
- Dust regularly and avoid placing this beauty in direct sunlight — UV rays can cause fading and damage.
- Spills happen but be quick to remedy them. Use a soft, dry cloth to absorb liquids immediately.
- Choose your cleaning materials wisely. Don’t use abrasives, caustic cleaners, waxes, and polishes on the bone inlay surfaces.
- Where possible, avoid placing your beautiful bone inlay piece near ducted heating vents, as rapid changes in temperature can cause the materials to contract and expand at an unnatural cadence.
