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 oxidised finish darkens the recesses and leaves the raised edges polished, which is what makes carved detail readable from across a room. It pairs especially well with cotton, handloom and indigo. The star and sunburst shape is a more modern addition to the temple vocabulary, and it lightens what is otherwise a very traditional silhouette.

Perfect For

Festivals, weddings, receptions and traditional or fusion ethnic looks.

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.
