First we take Plain piece of Marble. We draw the design on it. Then we shape the designs out of semi precious stones used in marble inlay art like Lapizlazuli, Malachite, Cornelian, Tourquoise, Jasper, Mother of Pearl, Pawa Shell, Etc. We have a Emery wheel which helps to make patterns out of these Semi Precious stones. We draw the patterns on the slices of the stones then hold them against the Emery wheel and then shape it one by one. Time taken to shape a piece depends on the size and shape. More small pieces takes more time.

After that we cut the cavities in the Marble with the help of diamond pointed tools.
Then the shaped pieces are glued in the Marble cavities. In the end we polish and finish the piece and then the finished pieces are ready for our collection for our customers. less
