Royal Blue Gold Plated Traditional Beaded Jhumka Earrings

Deep royal blue beads hung from a gold-plated bell, with the same dotted disc top as the rest of this family. Blue and warm gold is an old pairing in Indian jewellery for a reason: the blue reads as saturated rather than bright under indoor light, so the pair holds its colour in the evening when paler shades wash out. It is a saree earring first. Royal blue silk is the obvious partner, but the more useful combination is against cream, ivory or gold, where the blue supplies the only colour in the outfit and the gold ties it back to the border. For a reception or an evening function, wear the hair up so the bell is visible. Gold-plated alloy, hand-checked before packing, gift pouch included. Keep it away from water and perfume, put it on last, and return it to the pouch so the beads stay unscratched. Blue is also the colour in this family that most rewards being bought as a pair with something plain, because it does the work an outfit otherwise has to.
