The distinct, vibrant magenta of the premium kemp stones, meticulously arranged in classic mango motifs, immediately signals this piece's dedication to traditional South Indian aesthetics. This particular combination of deep ruby tones contrasted with emerald green accents and sparkling white stones is a favorite among our Arangetram clients, offering a beautiful balance of tradition and stage presence. It’s the kind of piece that holds its own under stage lights, ensuring every mudra is perfectly complemented, a visual anchor that has graced countless Bharatanatyam performances since Shanthi Tailors began dressing dancers in 1967.
The Radiance of a Performer
This exquisite temple necklace, often referred to as a "Manga Malai" or mango necklace, is designed not just for adornment but for impact. Each 'mango' pendant is carefully clustered with rich magenta kemp stones, accented with brilliant emerald green, and interspersed with sparkling white stones that catch the light beautifully. The deep red braided dori ensures a comfortable and adjustable fit, making it ideal for the dynamic movements of a Bharatanatyam or Kuchipudi dancer. Its robust construction means it will endure rehearsal after rehearsal, performance after performance, while maintaining its striking visual appeal.
Crafted for Enduring Grace
At Shanthi Tailors, we understand the demands placed on classical dance jewellery. This mango necklace is crafted on a durable silver base, then meticulously finished with a traditional gold-leaved technique, giving it the rich, authentic look of pure gold temple jewellery without the prohibitive cost. The premium kemp (spinels) stones are carefully hand-set, a testament to the artisan's skill and our commitment to quality that spans over five decades. This piece isn't just an accessory; it's an heirloom in the making, ready to be part of your dance journey or a cherished addition to your traditional wardrobe, perfectly complementing any Bharatanatyam dress or costume.

Q: How should I care for my Shanthi Tailors temple jewellery?
