The art of giving shape to stones, work begins by careful planning of designs and setting the color patterns. The craftsman use the tools that are much the same used in the Mughal period. A floral or geometrical piece is cut out and placed on a marble surface. It is outlined with a scribe and then the marble is carefully carved out using a steel chisel. A careful selection of various shades of stones and shells is used to give the right gradation and shading to the designs. The selected stones are shaped with the help of especially made emery wheels. Each part of the design is shaped individually, which requires a lot of patience. The stones are then set in the chiseled indentations with an adhesive that is a mixture of 19 different ingredients. The articles are then hand polished and waxed. The whole process calls for sharp, dexterous hands, patience and high accuracy.
