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. The darkened silver finish is what gives temple-style work its depth. Against cotton and handloom it reads craft rather than costume. The lotus is temple jewellery's quietest motif — recognisably traditional, but simple enough in outline that the pair still reads everyday.

Perfect For

Everyday ethnic wear, office, temple visits, kurtis and festive mornings.

Care

Last on, first off: put these on once you have finished getting ready and take them off before you sleep or bathe. Wipe them dry after wearing, keep them in a pouch rather than loose in a drawer, and the finish will stay as it arrived.
