Goddess Lakshmi, seated on a lotus, sits at the centre of a necklace made of linked gold peacocks, with ruby pink and green coloured stones, green tumble stones and pearls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes this one different\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTemple jewellery began as jewellery for temple deities in South India, and it still carries their figures: gods, goddesses, peacocks and lotuses worked in gold. The Charukeshi keeps that language and lets the gold lead. The whole necklace is a line of peacocks, broken by crescent panels of ruby pink stones and finished with a fringe of green tumble stones and pearls. The colour is there, but it is the gold you see first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe set\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe necklace is a chain of linked peacock motifs with crescent-shaped panels set along it, each one edged with green tumble stone and pearl drops. At the centre, a Lakshmi pendant on a lotus sits above a tiered drop of three more crescents and a final fringe. It ties with an adjustable dori. The earrings carry the same Lakshmi figure inside a crescent framed by two peacocks, with a peacock at the top and green tumble stone and pearl drops below, and fasten with push-backs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolish: Gold polish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Gold, with ruby pink \u0026amp; green stones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNecklace Length: __(L)*__(B)cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarrings Size: __(L)*__(B)cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Brass, ruby pink \u0026amp; green coloured stones, tumble stones and pearls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit: One necklace, one pair of earrings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: Dori\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarring Back: Push back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials, stated plainly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Charukeshi is fashion jewellery.

It is at its best on a Kanjivaram or Banarasi silk saree in maroon, red, green or mustard, where the gold glows against the colour. Pair it with a round or deep neckline so the peacocks and the pendant are not hidden; a high neck or a heavily embroidered blouse will fight it. Add a gajra or fresh flowers in the hair, as in the photos, and keep the rest of the jewellery to bangles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot sure how it will look in person?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBook a video call with our team and we will show you the Charukeshi live, in daylight, before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included in the Charukeshi necklace set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne necklace and one pair of matching earrings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is temple jewellery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTemple jewellery is the South Indian style that carries the figures of temple deities, along with peacocks, lotuses and other sacred motifs, worked in gold.
