Navratri Temple Drop Earrings

The Navratri Temple Drop Earrings is a pair of earrings from Sirini Jewellery. Jhumkas, chandbalis, danglers and studs — the stones are hand-set in the Kundan technique so each one reads as a flat field of light rather than faceted sparkle.

Handcrafted in Sirini's own Mumbai workshop — the stones are hand-set in the Kundan technique, with foil worked in behind each one.

Details

• Materials: 18–22K gold plating over a brass base, with hand-set Kundan stones — fashion/imitation jewellery, not solid gold or precious stones
• Made in: Sirini's workshop, Santacruz West, Mumbai
• Best for: weddings, sangeet, Diwali and Navratri, festive family occasions

How to wear it

Heavier earrings pair best with a choker or a mid-length necklace rather than a long rani haar — two heavy pieces at similar heights compete around the face. For a long evening, a kaan chain hooked into the hair takes the weight off the lobe.

Care

Keep away from water, perfume and sweat — moisture can get behind the Kundan foil and dull it permanently. Put jewellery on last and take it off first, wipe with a dry soft cloth only, and store in a pouch away from other pieces. Plating and polish are covered by a 1-year warranty.
