How to Style Them

Green is the quieter half of the red-and-green pairing that runs through South Indian dressing. It reads rich rather than bright, and works against cream, mustard, rust and maroon. Antique gold has the aged, slightly matte tone of jewellery that has been in the family a while. That warmth is what makes it work with silk, where bright polish can look thin by comparison. The lantern silhouette borrows from temple architecture rather than from jewellery, which is why it reads as a proper statement piece rather than a scaled-up jhumka.

Perfect For

Weddings, receptions, temple functions and statement bridal or festive looks.

Care

Put them on after perfume, lotion and hair spray rather than before, and take them off before you sleep, bathe or swim. Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wearing to lift skin oils, and store them in a pouch or a dry box rather than loose in a drawer.
