Two rows of large oval stones, each in a granulated silver collet, run staggered around the throat so the ovals of one row sit between those of the other. At the centre sits a round medallion — a six petal flower of pointed stones radiating from a disc, ringed by a full circle of ovals. Clusters of pearls and small jhumkas hang along the lower edge. The matching earrings are round medallions with their own pearl and jhumka drops, and it ties with a thick black dori.
Available in 8 colours: Baby Pink, Black, Sea Green, Green, Ruby, Blue, White and Red. The colour refers to the stones.
The stones are large and there are a great many of them, which is the point. Two full rows plus a medallion means the choker is effectively a solid band of colour with silver showing only as the framework between settings.
Staggering the rows rather than aligning them is what fills the gaps. Aligned, two rows of ovals leave diamond shaped spaces between them; offset, they interlock and the surface reads as continuous.
A flower at the centre with a full ring of ovals around it, so the piece has a clear focal point in the middle of an otherwise even band.
Pearls and small jhumkas alternating along the lower edge, which gives the fringe two different kinds of movement rather than one.
Close at the base of the throat, tied with a thick dori. It is a substantial piece — two rows of large stones carry real weight — and it suits a function rather than a full day.
Plain solid silk and handloom with an open neckline and hair tied back. Green and ruby are the traditional choices here; black is the striking one.
A collet is a band of metal formed around a stone and pressed over its edge to hold it, with no claws at all. For large stones it is the most secure setting there is, because the pressure is spread all the way round rather than concentrated at three or four points, and there is nothing standing proud to catch on fabric or hair. The granulated rim seen here does a second job as well: the applied beads stiffen the collet edge and hide the join where the metal was closed over the stone, which is why traditional silver almost always finishes a collet this way rather than leaving it plain.
Never use a silver dip, which strips the oxidised finish. Keep the dori dry, wipe with a dry soft cloth, and store flat so the drops are not crushed.
