A flower stud of ruby-red petals around a green square opens onto a crescent that is filled almost entirely with clusters of small rice pearls — oval, slightly irregular, massed between ruby-red pear-cuts and white stones. More pearl clusters spill from the lower edge, and three mint green ovals fall at the bottom. The density of the pearls is the whole design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes this pair work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRice pearls, not round ones.\u003c\/strong\u003e The elongated shape packs more tightly and catches light along its length, which is why the surface looks textured rather than beaded.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePearls in the body, not just the fringe.\u003c\/strong\u003e Most chandbalis keep pearls for the drop.

The pearls are pearl beads, not cultured or natural pearls. The red, green and white stones are decorative stones — they are not rubies, emeralds or diamonds, and are not sold as such. This is a standard finish, not an anti-tarnish or specially coated piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCaring for it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePut jewellery on last — after makeup, perfume and hairspray have fully dried — and take it off before bathing, exercise, swimming or sleeping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePearl beads dull faster than stones when perfume, hairspray or sweat settles on them. Spray scent before you dress, never after, and wipe the pair with a soft dry cloth at the end of every wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep away from perfume, deodorant, creams, water, hot water, detergent, household chemicals and prolonged sweat.

In Indian jewellery they are used in dense clusters rather than single drops, because the shape packs tightly and gives a soft, textured surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colour saree suits pearl earrings best?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeep colours. Maroon, bottle green, navy, brick and aubergine give pearls something to glow against. Against ivory, cream or white, pearls tend to disappear into the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan pearl jewellery be worn for Diwali and weddings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Pearls are traditional South Indian festive jewellery, especially in gutta poosalu and pearl haram form, and a pearl-set chandbali is an established wedding and reception choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I keep the pearls from dulling?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep them away from perfume, hairspray and sweat, which are what dull pearl beads fastest. Put the earrings on after getting ready, not before, and wipe them with a soft dry cloth at the end of each wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the pearls real?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. They are pearl beads, not cultured or natural pearls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the red and green stones real rubies and emeralds?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. They are decorative stones in the kemp tradition and are not sold as rubies or emeralds. The white stones are not diamonds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this jewellery anti-tarnish?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. This is a standard gold-tone finish, not an anti-tarnish or specially coated piece. 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.
