Two gold peacocks face each other with raised crests, framing a large clear kundan stone between them, with ruby and green accents worked around the setting. Below hangs a deep granulated jhumka finished with a heavy fringe of white pearls.
Available in 2 colours: White and Red. The colour refers to the accent stones set around the peacocks.
The peacocks are properly modelled rather than stamped — you can see the curve of each neck, the raised crest and the layered tail feathers — and at this scale that difference is obvious. It is the clearest single indicator of quality in temple style work.
The pearl fringe is unusually heavy, hanging in a dense band around the whole rim of the bell. It gives the lower half of the earring real substance and constant movement, and the white reads brightly against antique gold.
Deep and generously flared, covered in fine granulation so the surface scatters light softly rather than producing hard highlights. Granulated gold is what gives antique temple work its warmth.
A large flat cut kundan held between the two birds. Keeping it clear rather than coloured means nothing competes with the gold work, which is the point of a piece like this.
Post fitting. These are substantial bridal earrings, suited to a ceremony rather than a full day, though the bell is hollow and the fringe distributes weight around the rim.
Kanjeevaram and Banarasi silks, bridal lehengas. Because they carry almost no colour, they work across several outfit changes, which is genuinely useful over a wedding weekend. Hair up, short temple necklace or none.
There are three things worth checking on any temple style piece. First, whether the figures are modelled or merely stamped — look for depth in the crest and tail. Second, whether the granulation is even, since uneven dots are the mark of rushed finishing. Third, how the bell is attached: a well made jhumka hangs straight and swings freely, while a poorly linked one sits at an angle. Those three take a few seconds and tell you more than the size of the stones.
If this is a first serious temple piece, it is worth knowing that the style does not follow fashion. Temple jewellery has looked broadly the same for generations because it draws on fixed religious motifs rather than changing tastes, which means a well made pair bought now will not look dated in a decade. That is the main argument for spending more on classical work than on a trend led design.
Store them in their own pouch so the pearl fringe is not tangled. Put them on after perfume and hairspray, wipe with a dry soft cloth, and keep them away from water.
