Authentic Kanchipuram Sarees with Pure Zari

It is said that true nature can never stay hidden. The purity in a person’s soul will shine no matter what situation he is put in. Similarly, the purity of products speaks volumes about their origin, their preparation and their true value. Pure zari kanchipuram sarees may be hard to find and even difficult to acquire, but the beauty it exudes surpasses all efforts that go into creating this masterpiece.

The Process of Using Pure Zari in Sarees

The royal families have been obsessed with using gold, silver and other precious materials in several walks of life. Be it for paintings, utensils, furniture, jewellery, clothes or even makeup. The concept of using pure zari sarees is such that it helps give a sheen to the fabric and the shine of the zari remains intact for several years. However, moulding an extremely solid but ductile metal such as gold and silver was a challenge. The skilled weavers invented a way by which they could use raw silk threads and dip them in liquid metals for a finished polish. The final product is known as zari and can be woven along with silk, cotton, muslin or any other fabric.

In heavily brocaded sarees, almost half a kilo of pure zari can be used. This increases the weight and the value of the saree multifold. The zari is mainly used in the border and the pallu of the saree. But it can also be woven into the body to create a unique pattern. Pure gold zari Kanchipuram sarees are nothing short of a treasure and should be considered so as well. It becomes a priceless piece of heirloom and can be passed down several generations.

Care Tips for Pure Zari Sarees

Pure Zari Kanchipuram silk sarees make you look regal. But they demand the same amount of care that a royal could give them. However, your love for these sarees is sure to help you out with the efforts required to keep them safe through time. These sarees should always be wrapped in a clean muslin cloth and stored away from direct sunlight, in a dry place. Make sure that you air these sarees every few months to avoid infestation of any kind. To maintain the shine of the zari, the best course of action is to not use any harsh chemicals while cleaning.

Styling Pure Zari Sarees with Jewellery

One might question the choice of wearing additional jewellery if there is already enough gold and silver woven in the yarn. Traditional gold jewellery is the safest selection that beautifully complements the sheen of the saree. Temple jewellery from Tamil Nadu is another popular choice by the brides due to its intricate carvings.
