{"product_id":"ivory-pashmina-shawl-silver-metallic-embroidered","title":"Alabaster White Pashmina Shawl With Silver Metallic Embroidery","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur Alabaster White Pashmina Shawl with Silver Metallic Embroidery is a beautiful expression of Kashmiri heritage, timeless craftsmanship, and effortless sophistication. Personally selected by Jean Marie for its luminous alabaster hue and exquisite detailing, this shawl embodies purity, elegance, and understated luxury. Delicate silver metallic Zari yarn embroidery creates intricate paisley and floral motifs along one side, while finely embroidered borders frame the fabric with a graceful finish. The subtle shimmer of silver against the soft ivory creates a refined, luminous contrast, making this a timeless piece that feels both luxurious and wonderfully versatile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJean Marie sources these exceptional shawls from a Kashmiri family whose tradition of shawl-making has been passed down through generations. The story of pashmina begins high in the Himalayas, on the Changthang Plateau of Ladakh, where Changthangi goats develop an extraordinarily fine, soft undercoat to survive freezing temperatures. Each spring, these precious fibers are traditionally collected through gentle combing. Kashmiri shawl-making flourished during the Mughal era, when pashmina was treasured by royalty for its exceptional softness, warmth, and refinement. The elegant paisley motifs, inspired by traditional Kashmiri designs, reflect centuries of extraordinary textile artistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach shawl is a testament to the remarkable skill and patience of Kashmiri artisans. The delicate fibers are carefully cleaned, separated, and traditionally spun by hand into fine yarn before being woven on wooden handlooms. Skilled embroiderers then bring the fabric to life, meticulously stitching intricate floral and paisley patterns using silver metallic Zari yarn, a traditional decorative thread celebrated for its delicate shimmer and luminous beauty. This time-honored process requires extraordinary precision and dedication, with every stitch reflecting the care and artistry of the craftspeople. The result is a beautiful handmade piece with its own distinctive character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes pashmina so extraordinary is its remarkable combination of featherlight softness and exceptional warmth. Jean Marie rarely travels without one, especially on airplanes, where its lightweight yet insulating nature makes it the perfect companion. Easily folded into a handbag or carry-on, it offers warmth without bulk and effortless elegance wherever life takes you. Wear it draped over the shoulders for an evening dinner, wrapped around the neck on cooler days, or as an elegant finishing touch for weddings and special occasions. The soft ivory hue complements virtually any wardrobe, while the delicate silver metallic embroidery adds a sophisticated touch of shimmer and artistry. More than an accessory, this pashmina celebrates Kashmir's enduring heritage and generations of craftsmanship. A timeless treasure personally chosen by Jean Marie, designed to travel with you, become part of your story, and be cherished for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% Kashmiri Pashmina\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOnly one available \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e80\" x 28\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-Woven in India\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDry Clean Only\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PAX PHILOMENA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67808629555519,"sku":"IVORYPASHMINASHAWLEMBROIDERED","price":625.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2529\/6354\/files\/PaxPhilomena_73.png?v=1793207654","url":"https:\/\/paxphilomena.com\/products\/ivory-pashmina-shawl-silver-metallic-embroidered","provider":"PAX PHILOMENA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
