Vintage Zardozi Embroidery Floral Cuff Bracelet | Handmade Indian Zari Gold Thread Suede Leather Cuff
Zardozi — the ancient Indian art of embroidering with metallic gold thread — has adorned royal garments, ceremonial textiles, and bridal wear across the subcontinent for centuries. This handmade cuff bracelet brings that storied craft tradition directly to the wrist, built around a length of genuine vintage zardozi trim sourced from the textile markets of Old Delhi and individually crafted into a one-of-a-kind wearable piece.
The embroidered ribbon is densely worked in warm antique gold metallic thread on a deep black background, its flowing vine design carrying repeating floral and petal clusters — the hallmark composition of traditional zardozi border trim. Twisted cord outlines in gold-black define each element with sharp precision, while individual raised petal motifs catch the light with every movement.
The trim is sewn to a soft black suede leather backing that gives the cuff comfortable structure and a clean, contemporary silhouette, closing with a plain domed brass button and elastic loop fastening. Each cuff is cut, backed, and finished by hand, making every piece a unique object mixing Indian textile heritage and contemporary wearable craft.
Measurements: 7″ length; 2″ width (elastic loop offers some give)
