Rice writing originated in Ancient Anatolia in Turkey and India.
Many rituals and rites use rice as a medium, but at some point in ancient Anatolia
artisans who were skilled in making miniature paintings decided to turn
their skill to making art with what had always been an ancient symbol
of prosperity, the oldest example of which lies in Topkapi Palace
in Istanbul, Turkey.
The artisans would inscribe messages or names on a
single grain of rice after it was treated and polished.
Grains that
were long and flat were favorites as they offered proper surfaces for
writing.
Apart from Turkey, India also had a large number of artisans
skilled in making miniature art including rice art.
Rice art is considered to bring good luck hence some of its most popular
forms is good luck pendants, hope bracelets and cell phone charms.
Within time rice writing and rice art evolved, soon creating rice
jewelry where the rice grain was enclosed in a vial with a liquid/oil
that magnifies the individual grain making it easier to appreciate the
painstaking and intricate details.
This went further with rice jewelry
like good luck pendants, charm bracelets, anklets and earrings. In
modern times most of these artisans and artists set up shop with street
side stalls where they can personally write your message or name on a
rice grain while displaying their wares and hard work

preservative oil that also protects and magnifies the grain of rice.

trinkets and mementos can also be included within the glass vial such as
birth-stones, small flowers, glitter and colourings.
