Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this necklace suitable for a Bharatanatyam Arangetram?
A: Absolutely. This Poothali necklace is specifically chosen for its traditional aesthetic and stage presence, making it an excellent choice for an Arangetram. Its gold-leaved finish and vibrant kemp stones ensure it photographs beautifully and stands out elegantly, a detail we've learned from dressing thousands of dancers since 1967.
Q: What materials are used in this Poothali necklace?
A: This imitation temple jewellery features a silver base with a traditional gold-leaved finish, adorned with high-quality Premium Kemp (Spinels) in ruby red and emerald green, complemented by delicate pearl drops. We ensure the materials provide durability and a stunning visual appeal suitable for dance performances.
Q: How do I adjust the length of this necklace?
A: The necklace comes with a traditional adjustable dori (cord) at the back. You can easily slide the bead to lengthen or shorten the necklace to achieve your desired fit, whether you prefer a choker style or a slightly longer drape, which is essential for pairing with different Bharatanatyam dress necklines.
Q: How should I care for my imitation temple jewellery?
A: To maintain its luster, gently wipe the necklace with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove oils and perspiration. Store it in an airtight plastic bag or box, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid contact with perfumes, hairsprays, and harsh chemicals, as these can damage the gold-leaved finish and kemp stones.
