| Kavacham : The term kavacham also
means 'armour', and it is used to specifically
describe a Deity's body covering. Generally,
kavacham are made by pressing shapes in sheet
metal, like brass, copper or silver, and sometimes
even gold sheeting. Less precious ornaments
may be gold or silver-plated (electro-plated)
onto a base metal sheet. The kavacham are
then ornamented, being shaped into beautifully
detailed crowns and necklaces, etc., and studded
with diamonds, pearls and other precious stones.
King Gold manufactures all varieties of Kavachams
which include Gold Plated, Silver Plated and
Stone Work. Our Kavachams are used in major
temples of Tamilnadu and Karnataka. |

| Stone work : Every big and small
piece of adornment is made of gold and precious
stones like rings, earrings, bangles, chains,
crowns, anklets, etc. The craft of cutting
and polishing precious & semi-precious
stones give them glamorous face which is artistic.
Emeralds, rubies, garnets, amethysts, corals,
sapphires, and turquoises are stones which
are used for the enhancement of gold and silver
jewellery. Diamond has been considered the
best gem. It is found in at least six colors
and has connotations for six deities. According
to common belief, green is attached with Vishnu
(the Preserver), white with Varuna (god of
Oceans), yellow with Indra (god of Heavens),
brown with Agni (Fire god), blue with Yama
(god of Death) and copper colored with the
Maruts (Storm god). Besides the attachment
of deities with each color of diamond, a spotless
diamond is considered the abode of deities.
A perfect diamond is considered to be the
one that could float in water and has six
elevated tips, eight equal sides and twelve
sharp edges. |
