A wide collar choker laid out flat in close-set rows of CZ stones, with a band of ruby-red and green stones running through clear white ones and a fine fringe of tiny pearls along the lower edge. The matching earrings repeat the same stone work in miniature.
The stones are set in rows rather than in one large motif, so the piece bends with the neck instead of sitting as a single stiff plate. The red and green run as a stripe through the middle of the white, which is what gives the collar its depth from a distance.
Wear it high on the neck with a boat or round neckline so the collar is not fighting with fabric. A plain blouse does more for it than an embroidered one.
Receptions, sangeet evenings, engagement functions and family weddings.
The collar is at its best on a bare neck, so plan the hair up or to one side. Because the stones sit close together, dust settles in the gaps rather than on the surface, and a dry brush along the rows once a month keeps it bright. The earrings are small enough to wear on their own afterwards with a plain kurta.
A collar of this width lives or dies on how it curves, and this one is built in short linked rows rather than as one rigid piece. That matters when you actually wear it: a flat plate stands away from the collarbone and catches on the neckline, while linked rows follow the neck and stay put through a long evening.
The pearl fringe is the detail worth looking at twice. It softens what would otherwise be a hard bottom edge of stone, and it moves slightly as you do, which is what keeps a close-fitting collar from looking static in photographs.
One thing worth knowing before ordering: a collar of this width photographs much wider than it feels when worn, because the camera flattens the curve. If you are buying for a photographed function, that is in your favour. If you want something subtle for a family dinner, the earrings alone from this set will do more work.
This is a wedding-guest piece rather than an everyday one, and it suits a sister or a close friend who already owns gold-tone jewellery and wants one proper statement collar. See more of the same kind in our AD necklaces.
This is brass with a gold-tone plating rather than solid gold, which keeps the price where it is and the weight low enough to wear comfortably. Plating is a surface rather than a bulk property, so how long it lasts depends almost entirely on what it meets — perfume, hairspray and sweat all shorten it, while a dry cloth after wearing and a closed pouch between wearings extend it considerably.
Put this on after perfume, hairspray and hand cream, and take it off before washing, swimming or sleeping. Wipe with a dry soft cloth and use a dry soft brush around the stone settings and between any pearls, where a cloth cannot reach. Store it in a zip-lock pouch — the single most effective thing for a plated piece, because it keeps humid air off the metal. Never use silver polish, dip cleaners or an ultrasonic cleaner.
