इस शहर का नाम है फिरोजाबाद, जो उत्तर प्रदेश में आगरा के पास स्थित है. यह शहर खासतौर पर कांच की चूड़ियों के लिए पूरे देश में मशहूर है.

कहा जाता है कि भारत की लगभग 80% कांच की चूड़ियां यहीं बनती हैं.

फिरोजाबाद को 'चूड़ियों का शहर' भी कहा जाता है, क्योंकि यहां बड़े पैमाने पर कांच की चूड़ियां और बर्तन बनाए जाते हैं.

इस शहर में कांच बनाने का काम बहुत पुराना है, जो मुगल काल से चला आ रहा है.

आज यह एक बड़ा बिजनेस बन चुका है, जहां सैकड़ों फैक्ट्रियां और भट्टियां लगातार काम करती हैं.

कांच बनाने के लिए रेत (सिलिका), सोडा ऐश और चूना पत्थर जैसी चीजों को बहुत ज्यादा तापमान पर पिघलाया जाता है.

[{"selector":"#anim-40a1cfd0-2010-45b4-8335-608aa459b09c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5f777007-d43a-41b9-bee7-a3aee8e6a0c1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9a75af55-e786-4225-b853-9c6baa02f180","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -798.80336%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Photo: Pexels

जब यह पूरी तरह पिघल जाता है, तो इसे अलग-अलग आकार में ढालकर कांच के सामान बनाए जाते हैं.

कांच के अलग-अलग रंग बनाने के लिए खास तरह के केमिकल मिलाए जाते हैं, जैसे नीले रंग के लिए कोबाल्ट और लाल के लिए सेलेनियम.
