Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this Bharatanatyam jewellery headset suitable for an Arangetram?
A: Absolutely. This V headset and ear ornament set features traditional kemp stones and pearls, making it a classic and visually impactful choice for an Arangetram. Its design ensures it shines under stage lights, perfect for a dancer's debut.
Q: How do I secure the V headset for a Bharatanatyam performance?
A: The V headset is typically secured to the hair with small hairpins or clips through the loops at the ends, often woven into the dancer's hair bun or braid. Many dancers also use spirit gum or a tiny amount of skin-safe adhesive for the central pendant on the forehead to ensure it stays perfectly in place throughout the performance.
Q: What are Kemp stones, and what is the base metal of this jewellery?
A: Kemp stones are traditionally spinels, known for their vibrant, deep red hue, commonly used in South Indian temple jewellery. This set, like our premium temple jewellery, is crafted with a sturdy silver base and then meticulously gold-leaved, giving it the rich, authentic appearance of traditional gold ornaments without the solid gold weight.
Q: How should I care for this Bharatanatyam jewellery to maintain its luster?
A: To preserve the beauty of your kemp jewellery, store it in an airtight box or pouch, away from moisture and direct sunlight. After each use, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth to remove any oils or sweat. Avoid exposing it to perfumes, sprays, or harsh chemicals. This careful storage and cleaning will ensure it remains dazzling for years to come, as we've advised our customers for over five decades.
