Designer Traditional Antique Gold Chandbali Earrings for Women & Girls

Deep green fills the crescent here, dark enough that the gold filigree over it reads almost as an inlay. Green occupies a particular place in Indian occasion dressing — it is the colour of choice when red belongs to someone else, which at a wedding usually means the bride — and that makes a green chandbali one of the more diplomatically useful pieces to own. The pairing rules are forgiving. It sits with green silk, obviously, but it does better work against gold, cream and off-white, and it is one of the few colours that holds up next to a heavily zari-worked border without either one losing. A paisley-engraved top plate leads into the crescent, so there is detail at the lobe as well as in the drop. Alloy under an antique gold-tone finish, checked by hand and packed gift-ready. Keep it dry and away from perfume, and store it flat so the bead fringe hangs straight rather than bending.
