How to Style Them

Purple pairs unexpectedly well with mustard and old gold, and tonally with wine, plum and lilac. Oxidised silver reads cooler than gold and shows carving better than any other finish, because the darkened background throws the raised work forward. The natural match for khadi, handloom and denim. The Lakshmi motif is the signature of South Indian temple jewellery, traditionally worn for weddings, classical dance and temple visits.

Perfect For

Temple visits, weddings and festive occasions; pairs beautifully with purple, violet and traditional warm-toned outfits.

Care

Keep them away from water, perfume and lotion — those are what dull the finish fastest. A quick wipe with a dry cloth after each wear and storage in a pouch, away from other pieces that could rub against them, is all the upkeep these need.
