Sometimes one neat row is all a festive outfit needs. This kundan necklace set lines up small coloured stones in gold-tone settings round the neck, with a fringe of tiny drops below, in the style long loved across South and West India. It is offered in Red-Green, Green and Red, and Red-Green is shown here.
Rather than a chain, it ties on a yellow cotton dori finished with beaded tassels, so you decide how high it sits. A pair of small stud earrings with the same stones comes with it.
A plain single row is the simplest kind of dori necklace, and that restraint is its charm. The even repeat of stones looks traditional without being grand, so you can wear it to a morning puja and still feel properly dressed at a family lunch. At this price it also makes a sensible gift for a sister, a bhabhi or a Teej or Varalakshmi celebration.
This is also a good choice for anyone new to traditional jewellery, or for a young girl's first silk saree, as nothing about it feels heavy or too grown-up. South Indian festivals, Gudi Padwa mornings and small temple visits all suit it. Keep one in your travel bag, because a kundan necklace on a dori packs small, and it instantly lifts even a simple cotton saree when an unexpected function comes up.
Try it with a Kanjivaram or Paithani saree and a half-sleeve blouse, or with a Pavadai or half-saree for a younger wearer. The alternating Red-Green version picks up the border of most silk sarees. Tie the dori short for a close fit with a high neck, or loosen it a little for a wider, open neckline.
This design comes in 3 colours: Red-Green, Green and Red. Tap a colour above to see it.
The stones sit on a copper base coated in a gold tone, a combination widely used for festive sets because it holds fine detail at a modest price. Copper can show through over the years wherever skin rubs most, so the row of settings at the collarbone deserves the most care. Dry skin and a dry wipe make the coating last noticeably longer.
Keep the yellow dori dry, as cotton marks easily and holds on to oil from hair and creams. Tie the knot after your hair is done, and undo it before washing your face or going to sleep. Wipe the row of stones from one end to the other with a soft cloth so nothing catches on the drops. Put the set in a closed pouch with the dori wound loosely. Skip polish, soap and water.
