A gold-tone necklace with a row of round flower motifs in red and green across the front, small pearl drops beneath them and a larger pendant at the centre. The earrings are round studs with drops, and a maang tikka repeats the flower.
The flowers are set at even intervals rather than massed together, so there is gold showing between them. That spacing is what makes the red and green read clearly instead of blurring into a single dark band.
Red and green is the traditional pairing, so this sits naturally with a red, maroon or green outfit. Against pastels it will dominate.
Weddings, karva chauth, Diwali and traditional family functions.
The motifs are set with gold between them, so the necklace flexes at those points and sits properly on the chest. Tie the strap at a length where the centre pendant falls just below the hollow of the throat, which is where this design is drawn to sit.
The earrings in this set are studs rather than jhumkas, which is a practical choice if you expect to wear the set for several hours or around small children. They can also be worn alone with a plain kurta long after the wedding, which is not true of the heavier drops in other sets here.
Red and green together is not an arbitrary choice: the pairing comes from the ruby-and-emerald combinations of older Indian jewellery, and it is why this colourway looks correct with a bridal outfit in a way that a single colour does not.
The spacing between motifs also makes the necklace easier to wear than a solid stone collar. Gold showing between the flowers breaks the line, so the piece does not look like a band pressed flat against the chest in photographs.
Red and green sets are usually bought for a specific function and then worn for years at festivals, which is worth bearing in mind when choosing. If you expect to wear it mainly at Diwali and Karva Chauth rather than at one wedding, this spacing-based design dates less quickly than a solid stone collar.
The default safe choice for a wedding gift in most families. More in kundan necklaces.
This piece is made on a copper base 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.
