The striking contrast of the deep ruby kemp stones against the brilliant white AD stones and creamy pearls in the central round motif of these Mattal is what instantly draws the eye, designed specifically to frame a dancer's face with traditional splendor. Our customers, preparing for their significant Arangetram, often seek out pieces like this, appreciating how the intricate rhombus patterns, adorned with more kemp and AD stones, gracefully extend from the central medallion, culminating in the elegant black tassels. This design is a testament to the enduring beauty of classical Indian dance jewellery, ensuring every turn and gesture on stage is highlighted with authentic, shimmering detail, a legacy we've upheld since 1967.
Artistry in Motion: Crafting Your Bharatanatyam Look
- Authentic Temple Design: Each Mattal features a meticulously crafted central round motif, echoing traditional temple architecture, further embellished with rich ruby and emerald (green kemp) spinels, surrounded by luminous American Diamonds (AD) and lustrous cultured pearls. This design is highly sought after for Bharatanatyam performances, where every detail matters.
- Premium Stone Setting: The intricate rhombus-patterned chains are set with alternating premium kemp stones and dazzling AD stones, interspersed with pearls, creating a captivating visual flow that accentuates the dancer's movements. Our artisans ensure each stone is securely placed, reflecting our decades of expertise in Margam jewellery.
- Secure and Comfortable Fit: Designed for the rigorous demands of classical dance, these Mattal come with sturdy hooks to attach to your earrings and an additional loop for pinning securely into your hair. This ensures they stay perfectly in place throughout an entire Bharatanatyam Margam, from Alarippu to Thillana.
Curator's Note: Styling Your Classical Dance Jewellery
When selecting Mattal for an Arangetram or a major performance, consider how the black tassels on this specific design will complement your hair bun and costume. We've found that these dark tassels provide a beautiful contrast against lighter hair accessories and often help to anchor the entire look, ensuring the jewellery truly 'pops' under stage lights. This style pairs exceptionally well with traditional kemp jhumkas and a matching choker, creating a harmonious and complete Bharatanatyam jewellery ensemble.
