A round stud set with coloured stones sits at the lobe, below it a rectangular panel flanked by two facing peacocks, and beneath that a dark oval stone ringed with pearls that hang as a short fringe. Silver and gold tones throughout. Roughly 3 inches, in seven colourways.
Two birds turned towards each other across a central axis is one of the oldest arrangements in ornament, and it does something a single bird cannot: it creates a symmetrical composition with a gap in the middle, so the panel has a visual centre even though nothing is placed there. That gap is why the middle section reads as a gateway rather than a decorated bar, and it is the same device used above temple doorways.
A deep, near-black oval sits at the base. Dark stones are chosen in chandbalis for a specific reason — they do not reflect, so the centre of the piece becomes a void and the metal and pearls around it read as light. A bright stone in the same place would have competed with the pearl fringe instead of anchoring it.
Stud, panel, drop. Each is a different width and a different weight of detail, so the earring is read in steps down its length rather than all at once — which is what keeps a 3 inch piece from looking like a single long slab.
Sky Blue, White, Blue & White, Peach, Sea Green, Black and Yellow. Availability moves quickly and is confirmed before payment.
Hair fully up and the neck clear — these are long and need the space. They belong with silk, gold-bordered sarees, ivory and maroon, and are a natural wedding and reception choice.
Weddings, receptions, festivals, sangeets and evening functions.
Moderate. The panel is worked sheet rather than solid and the fringe is short, but it is an occasion earring rather than an all-day one.
Dual-tone means two platings on one piece — a bright silver tone and a warm gold tone, applied to different parts of the same design so each section reads separately. It is harder than a single finish because the two have to be masked off from one another, and it is why these pieces show their detail so clearly: the eye separates the gold elements from the silver ones before it has read a single stone. The base metal underneath is brass, so this is plating rather than solid gold or silver.
Put these on after perfume, hairspray and foundation, and take them off before washing, swimming or sleeping. Wipe with a dry soft cloth and use a dry soft brush around the stone settings and between the pearls, where a cloth cannot reach. Store them in a zip-lock pouch — the supplier's own advice, and 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.
