One
of the Kelantan attraction is Kelantan Silver.
 Kelantan
silver is renowned for its intricacy of design and superior
workmanship. Silversmiths use two kinds of techniques
- filigree and repousse. Items range from the functional
to the purely ornamental and include fruit bowls, tea
sets, ash trays, brooches and bracelets. You can visit
the silvercraft factory at Kampung Sireh (along Jalan
Sultanah Zainab)
Now
the Silver crafts have been obselete due to many young
generations have lose interest of these silverware. We
at KelantanSilver.Com has come this far to educate and
promote silverware product produced in Kelantan.
Most of Kelantan silver is made using the techniques of
repousse, which creates an embossed design, and filigree,
where delicate silver wire is twisted into designs. Using
these two techniques, the silversmiths produce exquisite
items such as rings, ear-rings, trinket boxes, jewellery
cases, and brooches.
Some
of the motifs used in designing the silver accessories
are inspired by tropical flowers and local influences
including the Kelantan kites and shadow puppets. There
is a variety of modern and vintage designs to choose from;
customers are more than welcomed to commission their own
design ideas from the silversmith.
