Symbol of Prosperity & Selfless Love

Similar to the traditional ‘Seengh Ka Kaam’ (horn work) craft which repurposes discarded bones and horns from meat farms, this elegant design is produced using the inner glistening shell of Mother of Pearl and features a minimalist geometric pattern.

Mother of Pearl is commonly believed to attract prosperity and is a symbol of selfless love.

The combination of both traditions makes it the perfect gift for your friends and family.

Handmade & Supports Dying Craftmanship

Drawing, cutting and piecing the design together requires great precision and patience – qualities that Mohammed and his team of artisans from Sambhal in India have perfected. The city is famous for this artistry which is under threat of being lost due to the lack of appreciation for the skill.

For Mohammed and his team, sharing their work with the rest of the world is what they find most rewarding.

“We are the 3rd generation of seengh ka kaam craftsmen and we are proud to have shared our work with people around the globe” - Mohammed, maker.

Genuine Mother of Pearl

This photo frame is carefully pieced together using individual, hand-cut shapes of Mother of Pearl (the inside surface of a shell which goes on to become a pearl), sustainable MDF and varnished with a plant-based resin for a slick and glossy finish.

Durable & Easy to Clean

Remove dust and dirt with a clean, soft cloth.

Craft Worth Saving

Treasures Beyond Trends.

ALORAA isn’t just a brand - it’s our stand against mass production. In 30 years, 30% of India’s artisans have been forced to leave their craft as the world stopped paying attention and factories took over.

We exist to preserve and celebrate traditional craftsmanship, bringing slow, meaningful artistry back where it belongs: into your home.
