The local name for this technique Thewa, literally means setting.   Shrouded in complete mystery as to its making the artisans of Thewa follow a patriarchal method of practicing the art for fear of divulging family secrets to their daughter's in-laws as a result the legacy is carried forward from father to son only.   Thewa is a traditional art of fusing 23ct gold with multicoloured glass. The process followed is detailed and intricate. Patterned sheet of pure gold is fused onto coloured glass to create a unit. Each unit consists of a flat piece of transparent glass, of different colours intentionally suggesting ruby, emerald and sapphire.   In the last century Thewa unit makers prepared elaborate settings in gold wire in the Canetille style, so called after a contemporary European style.    To encourage this exquisite and unique art form the Government of India issued a postage stamp in the year 2004. To add to its laurels the art also won nine National Awards from 1966 till today, apart from other national and international laurels.   Jewel Ace presents absolutely women-oriented collection.
