Thanks BWeaves. Yes the video does highlight the hard work involved. It gave a me a new appreciation of this type of jewellery making the first time I watched it. It is all handmade.

Thank you CathyKeshi! If you are in India you are welcome to come home for a nice evening of jewel talk and snacks! Yes Elephants are a common motif in India but this necklace uses them in a way I...

One highlight from the video - to make a single pendant, the artisan has to make over 100,000 precise taps on the gold with his tool, even one of which in the wrong spot could ruin the whole pendant.

Thank you pattye and BWeaves! Here is a video I found on YouTube about the manufacturing process of nakhas / nakshi / nakashi temple jewellery as it is variously called. Note that I have no...

Love these! Your deep golden SS is just dreamy and has given me major pearl goals. ��

Ok neck shots and close ups of two temple necklaces. One shows a design closer to neck and the other one a bit longer, just to give you an idea :) 73397

Just an update, I spoke to my friend and she said the blue necklace is made from blue cat’s eye stones.

Thank you :)

Sure will do! It is night time here in India, will try and get this done tomo :) I am not very good at taking photos though, so will just try my best :)

Hi,

About a decade ago I had this idea of having necklaces of gemstones mixed with pearls in the middle. I got a friend of mine to create those visions for me and I still love wearing them. I am...

Wow, beautiful! I love it.

It is really hard to find good quality saltwater pearls in India. Freshwater yes we can find good ones but they need to be sought out carefully.

Thank you very much! I guess I wouldn’t take the risk to buy those pearls then. Because their origin is not clearly mentioned by the jewellery and they don’t seem to know it either.

Now for more traditional / heritage necklaces. The first one is Addige style that originated in Karnataka state but now is popular all over India. 73287
This second is a Mohan haar originally from...

Thank you Lisa, 86Corvettegirl and Marianne! Here are some more.
