Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this Nagar suitable for an Arangetram?
A: Absolutely. This original temple jewellery Nagar is perfectly suited for an Arangetram. Its traditional design, premium kemp stones, and silver with gold leaf construction meet the authentic requirements for bharatanatyam jewellery, ensuring your stage presence is both traditional and radiant. We've seen countless dancers shine with pieces like this in their debut performances over our 57+ years.
Q: What is the base metal for this temple jewellery?
A: As with all our original temple jewellery, this Nagar is crafted with a pure silver base. It is then meticulously adorned with a gold leafing technique, giving it the rich, traditional finish without using copper. This ensures both authenticity and durability, a practice we've upheld at Shanthi Tailors since 1967.
Q: How should I care for my Nagar Short Necklace?
A: To preserve the brilliance of your gold-leafed silver temple jewellery, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, and water. Store it in an airtight pouch or box, ideally in a cool, dry place, to prevent tarnishing and keep the kemp stones sparkling for years to come. Proper care ensures this heritage piece remains beautiful.
