A faceted teal stone sits in a frame of clear kundan at the lobe, with a second smaller stone above it. Below hangs a compact gold bell, and from its rim fall teal bead drops alternating with small white pearls.
Available in 2 colours: Lavender and Baby Pink. The colour refers to the stones and the bead drops.
The proportions are the strength here. The stone top is substantial and the bell below is deliberately small, which is the opposite of the usual jhumka arrangement and gives the pair a more modern, less traditional balance. The weight also sits closer to the lobe as a result, which makes them noticeably more comfortable than a bottom heavy design.
Faceting the main stone rather than using a smooth cabochon adds genuine sparkle to a design that is otherwise fairly restrained, and it stops the large area of colour from looking flat.
Alternating faceted beads and round pearls around the rim gives the fringe a rhythm — translucent, opaque, translucent — and keeps it from reading as a single repeated element. It is a small thing that makes a plain bell considerably more interesting.
Clear flat cut stones ring the main stone, each in its raised gold bed. Putting clear stones around a coloured one is the traditional way of making the colour read more intensely, since the eye judges colour against what surrounds it.
Post fitting, moderate size, weight close to the lobe. Comfortable for a full day rather than just an evening.
Teal and gold sits beautifully against cream, mustard, rust and deep green. These suit both silk and good cotton, which makes them more flexible than a heavier bridal pair. Hair back, short necklace.
Most festive jewellery is bought for weddings and then sits unused, because it is too large for anything else. A pair like this fills the gap between daily silver and bridal gold: it is clearly festive, clearly gold, and small enough to wear to a family function, an office festival day or a lunch without looking overdressed. If your collection jumps straight from studs to bridal jhumkas, this is the middle ground worth having.
If you are buying a first gold-finish pair rather than silver, this size is a sensible place to begin. It is large enough to feel like proper festive jewellery and small enough that you will not feel self conscious wearing it to an ordinary family gathering, which is exactly the range most people need filled before they buy anything bridal.
Keep them in a zip lock pouch so the fringe does not tangle. Put them on after perfume and hairspray, wipe with a dry soft cloth, and keep them away from water.
