Zari Work – The telling way of adorning fabrics

Zari or Jari is ornamental metal thread used for adorning fabrics. It is particularly popular in the Indian subcontinent and Iran. Popular since Mughal times , zari thread is employed for zardozi.

Zari types

Real Zari has thread made from gold or silver. Imitation zari uses gold or silver coated copper wire. Today mostly zari is made from metallic polyester film where a polyester core is covered by gold or silver coloured metallic yarn. Zari is mostly used to adorn fabrics. Saree, salwar kameez, chuddidar, and such garments offer ample canvas for display of the fine and intricate patterns that are embroidered. It is light in weight, rich-looking, shiny, lustrous, and durable. Zardozi, Ari, Gota, Makaish, tilla, meena, kamdani, wasli are some of the popular types of embroidery that employ zari thread.

Availability & use of zari

Surat in Gujarat, India, has the largest production of zari and zari thread in the country. Sarees employ a lot of zari work for adornment. The southern sarees mostly prefer borders and linings of zari on silk, cotton or sico fabrics, whereas the northern sarees generally have thick brocades of the same. The market has responded well to zari adornments since long and though the switch has taken place from pure silk or gold to plastic core zari, there is no fall in the demand for zari-adorned fabrics.
