A coloured stone sits at the lobe beneath a small finial, and below it a camel stands in profile against an open frame, with a jhumka bell and two long bell-hung chains descending beneath. Available in Mint, Blue, Green, Baby Pink, Yellow, Aqua, Grey, Black and Red.
The camel belongs to Rajasthan and to the desert trade routes, and it turns up in Marwari folk art, on painted doors and in embroidery far more often than in jewellery. Seeing one on an earring is genuinely unusual, and it gives the piece a regional specificity that a peacock or a parrot — which belong everywhere — simply does not have.
The camel is cut as a flat silhouette with its legs and hump clearly drawn, set within an open rectangular frame so light passes behind it and the outline reads crisply. Above it a teardrop stone sits in a bezel beneath a small decorative finial. The bell below is fluted and hung with a short pearl fringe, and from it two fine chains descend, each carrying clusters of tiny bells at graduated intervals. Antique gold throughout.
Red and Green are the traditional Rajasthani pairings and suit the motif best. Black and Grey read as modern. Mint, Aqua, Baby Pink and Yellow are the soft daytime options, and Blue sits between. The camel and frame stay gold across all of them.
Hair up, neck bare. These suit cotton, bandhani, leheriya and anything with a Rajasthani character, and they are a particularly good match for block-printed and mirror-work clothing. They are long, so give them vertical space.
Festivals, weddings, Navratri and folk or regional functions.
Light for the length. The camel is flat sheet, the bell is hollow and the chains weigh very little, so almost all of the earring is visual rather than physical weight.
This piece is brass finished with a gold-tone plating rather than solid gold, which is what keeps the price where it is and the weight low enough for comfortable wear. Plating is a surface rather than a bulk property, so how long it lasts depends almost entirely on what it is exposed to. Perfume, hairspray, sweat, soap and chlorinated water all shorten its life; a dry cloth after wearing and a closed pouch between wearings extend it considerably. Treated sensibly, the colour holds for a long time.
Put these on after perfume, hairspray and foundation. Wipe with a dry soft cloth after wearing and use a dry soft brush around the stone settings and through any fringe or chain. Store them in a pouch rather than loose in a box, and never use toothpaste, bleach or an ultrasonic cleaner.
