The top is a small architectural cluster — a ruby-red pear-cut rising above a square green stone, flanked by white-stone leaves and ruby accents, all held in beaded gold edging. Below it hangs an open crescent ringed in white stones, with a tiny cluster of pearl drops suspended at the centre like a bell inside a moon.

Fully paved or multi-jhumka designs are better kept for weddings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is beaded or granulated gold work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGranulation is a traditional technique where tiny metal beads are applied along the edges of a design. It gives the gold a textured border and is a recurring marker of South Indian temple jewellery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a chandbali earring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA chandbali is built around a crescent-moon shape — \u003cem\u003echaand\u003c\/em\u003e means moon, \u003cem\u003ebali\u003c\/em\u003e means earring.

Wiping it dry after each wear and keeping it away from perfume and sweat is what extends the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you offer Cash on Delivery, and how long does delivery take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, COD is available.
