Product Description
This is a stunning example of Temple Jewelry, a traditional Indian style known for its intricate metalwork and regal aesthetic. Originally designed to adorn deities in South Indian temples, this style is now a hallmark of bridal and festive wear.
Motifs: The set features the classic Peacock (Mayur) motif, symbolizing grace and beauty. You can see these in the "Mango" or Paisley shaped drops along the necklace chain and within the central pendant.
Pendant Style: The necklace features a large, ornate Chandbali-style (crescent moon) pendant with a floral center, flanked by two smaller peacocks.
Technique: It appears to be Nakshi work, where the gold (or gold-plated metal) is handcrafted to create a 3D embossed effect.
