How to Style Them

Green carries well over handloom cotton, where the stones lift an otherwise plain drape, and it is the traditional partner to a red Kanjivaram border. Oxidised pieces are the ones that work with a plain cotton kurta as easily as with a silk saree, which is why they end up worn far more often than their price suggests. The Lakshmi motif is the signature of South Indian temple jewellery, traditionally worn for weddings, classical dance and temple visits.

Perfect For

Ideal for weddings, temple functions and bridal wear. Pairs well with red, green, cream and gold 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.
