Shyama Kali
Shyama Kali, a revered form of Maa Kali, was the focus of this custom project, where the aim was to bring the Devi’s powerful presence into a wearable piece. Particular attention was given to Her expression, traditional features, and intricate detailing, ensuring that the final design remained faithful to the form of Shyama Kali while bringing out the beauty of Her appearance.
Design
The design was developed directly from the original deity of Shyama Kali, using Her form as the primary reference throughout the project. Rather than creating a new interpretation, we focused on recreating Her distinctive facial features, expression, posture, and ornaments. Every detail was carefully studied and translated into a smaller, wearable piece, preserving the appearance of the original deity as closely as possible.
Casting & Polishing
Following the completion of the 3D design, Shyama Kali was cast in 92.5 Sterling Silver, with careful attention to retaining the fine details of the original sculpture. Our craftsmen then worked through several stages of filing, cleaning, and hand-polishing, carefully finishing the intricate ornaments, facial features, and smaller details, especially around the mala. The aim was to achieve the same level of finishing we expect from fine gold jewellery, ensuring that even the smallest elements were properly refined without losing their original definition.
Detailed Enameling & Gold Plating
The final stage involved carefully hand-painting Shyama Kali with enamel, using the original deity as our reference to recreate Her colours and appearance. Each colour was applied individually, with particular attention to the Devi’s facial features, clothing, ornaments, and smaller details. Selective gold plating was also applied to highlight the jewellery and other elements, adding a nice contrast to the enamel work. Together, these touches brought the silver sculpture as close as possible to the appearance of the original deity.
