How to Style Them

Red reads most festive against gold, which is why it anchors so much South Indian wedding dressing. Wear them with a red or maroon silk saree for a matched look, or set them against cream, ivory or deep green if you would rather the colour sit as an accent. The darkened silver finish is what gives temple-style work its depth. Against cotton and handloom it reads craft rather than costume. The ghungroo rim is what gives these their movement and their faint sound — a detail borrowed straight from classical dance jewellery.

Perfect For

Navratri, festivals, weddings, kurta and saree looks, and everyday ethnic wear.

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.
