I am Zallary

Zallary is a mother-of-pearl square coasters (set of 4).

This exquisite Mother-of-Pearl coaster set showcases superior shell craftsmanship. Since the conch shell has a hard surface, it does not cut easily. While today slicing is done largely by electric disc saws, the traditional method of cutting involved using a special type of semi-circular saw with a minute sharp edge.

However even with a wee bit of mechanization, the complex process of creating a shell offering continues to be largely done by hand.

The various stages involve raw material collection, processing, shaping, engraving or embossing, polishing and finally giving the offering those final touches!
