Blue Oval Necklace | Original Temple Jewellery

A: Yes, the 'Blue Oval Necklace' is crafted in the original temple jewellery style, making it appropriate for an Arangetram. Its design reflects the traditional aesthetics essential for Bharatanatyam and other classical dance forms. However, ensure the blue oval complements the costume's overall color palette to maintain visual harmony on stage.

A: The 'Blue Oval Necklace' is designed to be lightweight, minimizing any restriction to the dancer's movements, including during complex footwork and deep Aramandi positions. We understand the importance of unrestricted movement in Indian classical dance; its weight distribution is carefully considered. However, if you are sensitive to weight, especially around the neck, we suggest trying it briefly during a practice session to ensure complete comfort.

A: The 'Blue Oval Necklace' utilizes a combination of high-quality materials designed for durability and comfort. While the exact materials may vary slightly based on artisan availability, we primarily use skin-safe alloys and semi-precious stones. These are selected to withstand perspiration and the vigorous movements associated with Kuchipudi and other high-energy dance forms. We recommend gentle cleaning after each performance to maintain its luster and longevity. Avoid direct contact with perfumes and harsh chemicals.

A: While the 'Blue Oval Necklace' is pre-designed, we at Shanthi Tailors understand the need for customization to align with specific deity-inspired costumes. Minor alterations, such as adding specific bead colors or small pendants reminiscent of Shiva's Trishul or Krishna's flute, may be possible. Please contact us with your specific requirements and costume details, and we will assess the feasibility and provide a customized solution. Additional charges may apply based on the complexity of the customization.
