Silver is one of the seven metals of antiquity, usually found with lead in nature. Silver ornaments, silver cutlery, religious figures, decorative items, and utility objects like solar panels, electric conducts, etc. are some of the products made out of silver. Since the evolution of mankind, man has used his intelligence and creativity to develop things that are useful and easily made. Metals being fairly fusible and malleable, man-shaped it with the help of firewood and charcoal, urging its highest application in the coming ages.
Embossing is a technique of creating an impression of a particular design, decoration, lettering, or pattern on another surface. In regular printing or engraving, plates are pressed against the surface to leave an imprint. However, in embossing, the high-pressure pressing raises the surfaces adding a new dimension to the object. Himachal Pradesh is well known for its silver-plated threads used for embroidery works in the textile industry. These are of great demand across the country. Chains, pendants, bracelets, glass, lighter cover, utensils and rings are other products sold by these silversmiths.
