Artistry & Heritage of Temple Jewellery
This necklace is a testament to the enduring appeal of South Indian temple jewellery, reinterpreted with a charming butterfly motif. Crafted with a silver base and traditionally 'gold leaved' — a technique passed down through generations where gold foil is meticulously applied — it ensures the authentic look and feel that Shanthi Tailors has championed for over 57 years. The use of premium Kemp (Spinels) in deep maroon and forest green, accented with sparkling white stones and delicate pearl drops, reflects the intricate detail and spiritual significance often found in pieces adorning temple deities.
💡 From Our Curator's Eye
When selecting pieces for our Bharatanatyam customers, we always look for that blend of visual impact and practical wearability. This specific butterfly design, with its detailed Kemp setting, offers both. It's the kind of piece that photographs beautifully for Arangetram memories and feels substantial without being cumbersome. We've seen it paired stunningly with deep green or maroon silk costumes, creating a cohesive and regal stage presence.
