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. 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. Enamel carries the colour here rather than stones, so the tone stays flat and even instead of sparkling — closer to traditional meenakari work.

Perfect For

Festivals, weddings, temple visits and traditional or contemporary ethnic wear.

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.
