Handcrafted by master craftsmen of India these coasters made of pristine white marble and gemstone inlay work come with colorful flowers pattern on them. Pietra dura or pietre dure called parchin kari in the Indian Subcontinent is a term for the inlay technique of using cut and fitted highly polished colored stones to create images. It is considered a decorative art. The stonework after the work is assembled loosely is glued stone-by-stone to a substrate after having previously been sliced and cut in different shape sections; and then assembled together. Stability is achieved by grooving the undersides of the stones so that they interlocked rather like a jigsaw puzzle. Many different colored stones particularly marble is used along with other stones. It first appeared in Rome in the 16th century reaching its full maturity in Florence. Pietra dura items are generally crafted on green white or black marble base stones. Natural stones may have minor cuts or blemishes and slight color variations.
