A wide band of white pearl strands with a round kundan medallion at the centre and a cluster of coloured teardrop beads hanging below it. The earrings carry the same drops, and a maang tikka completes the set. The bead colour is what changes between options.
Keeping the band white and putting all the colour in the hanging drops is what makes six colourways possible from one design — and it is also why the set works with so many outfits.
Pick the bead colour from the outfit rather than from the blouse. The white band does the matching work for you.
Mehendi, haldi, sangeet, festivals and daytime functions.
The drops are the only coloured element, which makes it easy to decide between the six options: hold the outfit next to the bead colour and ignore the rest of the necklace. Store it flat, and keep the strands parallel when putting it away.
The medallion at the centre stays the same across all six options, so if you buy two the metalwork matches exactly. That is what makes layering them work — two different necklaces layered together almost always clash at the centre, while two of these read as one deeper piece.
Six colourways from one body is a sensible way to buy: if you already own this necklace in green, a second in red gives you a visibly different set for a fraction of what two separate necklaces would cost, and the two can be worn together as layers.
The drops are the part that moves and therefore the part that wears. They hang on small loops; if one ever loosens, it can be closed with a pair of flat pliers rather than needing the whole necklace repaired.
If you are buying for a season rather than a single function, two colourways of this design give more range than two different necklaces would. Worn together the white bands merge into one deeper band and the two bead colours read as a deliberate mix, which is not something most necklaces allow.
A good gift when you know the recipient's favourite colour but not her jewellery. More in kundan necklaces.
This is brass with a gold-tone plating rather than solid gold, which keeps the price where it is and the weight low enough to wear comfortably. Plating is a surface rather than a bulk property, so how long it lasts depends almost entirely on what it meets — perfume, hairspray and sweat all shorten it, while a dry cloth after wearing and a closed pouch between wearings extend it considerably.
Put this on after perfume, hairspray and hand cream, and take it off before washing, swimming or sleeping. Wipe with a dry soft cloth and use a dry soft brush around the stone settings and between any pearls, where a cloth cannot reach. Store it in a zip-lock pouch — 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.
