Thewa is a special art of jewelry making which involves fusing of intricately worked-out sheet gold on molten glass. It evolved in Pratapgarh district, Rajasthan India. Its origin dates back to the rajput era.[1]
Thewa is a traditional art of fusing 23K Gold with multicoloured glass which had almost completely died out, till Revivalist designer Roopa Vohra, single handedly revived this dying art form, dedicating over two decades to make thewa a household name and synonymous with her.
Shri Mahesh Rajsoni was awarded with Padma shri award in 2015, for excellency in this art craft. Roopa Vohra gets the sole credit to breath a fresh lease of life into thewa.
