			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.platinum.in/">Platinum</a> is often referred as the super metal. The unique set of chemical and physical properties makes it one of the most popular and rare metals that is used world wide. People are yet to know that platinum is not mined as popularly as gold. In fact every year approximately one hundred and thirty three tones are mined as compared to the gigantic figure of one thousand seven hundred and eighty two tones of gold. This drastic ratio speaks volumes about the rarity and the quality of the metal.</p>
<p>The legendary thought that platinum is a very new metal that has been discovered lately should be discarded. You may be surprised to learn that the metal was discovered in as early as 1735 and today it is one of the most sought after metals. The metal is very royal and precious as Egyptians considered it very rare and beautiful while the King of France made a statement that platinum was a royal metal. The worth of the metal has increasing with each passing year.</p>
<p>People often get confused between platinum and silver as both are of the same color. The Spanish never considered platinum to be a valuable or a worthy metal. The lack of melting properties and forging activities resulted in the banning of the metal in Spain.</p>
<p>Today the best jewelry designs by leading brands like Tiffany, Cartier and so on make amazing and scintillating pieces of jewelry that are considered more precious than gold. In fact the beauty of diamonds is enhanced in platinum jewelry designs. There is no denial to the fact that platinum is one of the most precious, valuable, and an accepted metal that is flaunted by the rich and famous. Platinum jewelry is extremely fashionable and the slivery appearance emanates class and royalty.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify">The history of leather craft in India goes a long way. According to historians, the roots of leather craft in India lie in Indus valley civilization. Even if you read ancient texts, you will find numerous references of animal skin. Remember, those pictures and mythological serials where sages used to sit on deerskins and meditate? In the modern age we find usage of leather in dresses, jackets and boots but during earlier eras, it was also used in making caps, bags, saddles, armour etc. The popularity of Indian leather craft is not just restricted within Indian boundaries. India is a large exporter of leather works to different parts of the world and this craft is hugely appreciated. This tradition has continued to flourish in rural parts of India where hide from cattle and camel is used to make different popular items. Different regions have different products to offer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Some of popular leather items that are made in India are jackets, belts, shoes, stuffed toys, lampshades, wallets, bags and pouches etc. These products are exported to foreign market in huge quantities and earn good revenue for their Indian makers. Indian leather craft industry is quite huge and caters to local as well as global needs. Region wise, if places like Jaisalmer and Bikaner are famous for making decorative saddles then West Bengal is known for decorated leather products. Rajasthan has always been a production hub for decorated leather items. If you are looking for beautifully designed lamp and lampshades you need look no further than this dessert state.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Madhya Pradesh holds an edge in crafting embroidered red leather items whereas Karnataka excels in producing leather products painted with mythological pictures. Most of these products have geometric patterns and traditional designs. Kashmir is also famous for ornamental leather products. Similarly, different states offer some other beautiful leather products.</p>
