A tapering panel of glossy black enamel, painted with coral and green tulips rising on slender stems, framed in a fine band of clear crystals. A small white enamel flower sits at the lobe above it, and below hangs a compact gold jhumka with a pearl fringe.
Available in Multi Color — the painted version shown, with coral, green and cream flowers on black.
Black is the best possible ground for painted flowers. Coral and green sit against it with maximum contrast, so colours that would look washed out on cream become vivid, and the fine painted stems stay clearly legible even at this small scale.
The tapering shape is a good decision too. Wider at the top and narrowing toward the bell, it directs the eye downward through the earring rather than letting the panel sit as an isolated rectangle.
Tulips are an unusual choice — Indian painted jewellery more often uses lotus, rose or generic blossoms — and they come from the Mughal decorative vocabulary, where tulips and irises appear throughout architecture and manuscript borders. Each flower here is individually painted with shaded petals.
A narrow band of small clear stones runs around the whole panel. It separates the black enamel from the gold frame, giving the painting a defined edge, and adds the only sparkle in an otherwise matte design.
Post fitting, moderate size, light. Comfortable through a full day rather than only an evening.
Black and gold suits almost anything. They are particularly good against cream, mustard and deep red, and they work with western clothes in a way most painted Indian jewellery does not. Hair back so the panel is visible.
The tulip entered Indian decorative art through Persian influence and became a favourite Mughal motif, appearing in marble inlay at Agra and Delhi as well as in textiles and manuscript illumination. Its appeal to those craftsmen was practical as much as aesthetic: a tulip is a simple, strongly symmetrical shape that reads clearly at small scale, which is exactly why it works on a piece of jewellery this size.
Black enamel also has a practical advantage that pale grounds do not: it hides the small surface marks that any worn jewellery eventually picks up. On a cream or mint ground a fine scratch shows immediately, while on a glossy black panel it disappears into the reflection. For a piece you intend to wear regularly rather than keep for occasions, that matters.
Store them in their own pouch so the enamel is not chipped. Wipe with a dry soft cloth only, and keep them away from water.
