Meera Kundan Necklace & Earring Set

Description:

This bridal jewellery set is built the way Rajasthani goldsmiths have always done it, several things happening at once. Multiple strands of pearls and coloured beads sit under a row of kundan-work gold flowers, and right at the centre is a meenakari medallion painted in deep green with a bird design worked into it by hand. The earrings repeat that same medallion in miniature, with a pearl drop swinging underneath.

It closes with an adjustable yellow dori instead of a hook clasp, so you're not stuck with one exact neck size; pull it looser over a heavy lehenga, or tighten it for something simpler. This is the kind of artificial necklace design you keep seeing at Rajasthani weddings for a reason: it photographs well, sits close to the neck, and does the work of jewellery and outfit centrepiece at the same time.

If you're shopping for a wedding jewellery set for the bride, or just want one necklace and earring set that doesn't need anything else added to it, this is a full kundan set on its own, no separate hunt for matching earrings. Good with jewel-tone or pastel outfits, and it holds up equally well as an engagement gift.

Care note: keep it flat in its pouch, away from perfume and moisture, the enamel colour lasts a lot longer that way.
