For anyone who loves ethnic jewellery. These earrings show a sideways peacock with curling tail and pearl drops, in a antique silver-tone finish. It looks far more expensive than it is, and it stays comfortable for hours.
A peacock sweeps sideways, its curled tail rising behind it in feathered scrolls, and a few pearls hang below on fine links. The sweeping pose gives this peacock a sense of motion that upright designs do not have. Few motifs say India as clearly as the peacock. It dances at the first rain of the monsoon, it is linked with Lord Krishna and Lord Kartikeya, and it has been a favourite of jewellers for centuries. The oxidised shading sits in the low parts of the metal while the raised edges stay bright, which is what gives the pair its antique depth. The proportions are balanced, so the pair hangs straight and sits comfortably.
Silver-toned jewellery does not compete with prints the way bright gold can, so it is very easy to style. The design is bold enough for festivals yet simple enough for a normal working day. This pair is made in German silver, a tough copper-based alloy that has a silver-like colour but no actual silver in it. It is widely loved for light, inexpensive ethnic jewellery.
Pretty with festive suits and sarees. Keep your hair off the ear to show the tail. Keep your necklace small, or skip it, so the earrings lead. Add a few oxidised bangles and you are done. It looks best with earthy colours such as indigo, mustard, rust and black, and with handloom fabrics.
It gives you the look of handcrafted silver-style jewellery for a small price, and it is light enough to wear all day. It looks just as good in photographs as it does in person, which matters at festivals and functions. Oxidised jewellery has become a favourite for everyday ethnic style because it pairs with almost any colour. The look works across age groups too. A college student might wear this pair with jeans, while her mother wears the same design with a cotton saree, and both look completely at home. Silver-toned ethnic jewellery has moved well beyond festival wear. Many women now wear it to the office, to college and on weekends, because it looks personal and handmade rather than formal.
It fits a standard piercing and moves easily as you walk. Fasten it before putting on a dupatta so that it does not catch.
Put your earrings on last, after hair spray and perfume have dried. Clean them only with a soft dry cloth, and keep them flat in a pouch or box so the fine parts do not bend.
