Nakshi-Bridal-Haram – JCHM072

Description

This is a magnificent Nakshi Bridal Haram, a long and opulent necklace designed for the most significant occasions, such as a wedding. The “Nakshi” refers to the intricate, traditional relief work or engraving seen on the metal, which often depicts deities and classical motifs.

The necklace’s design is exceptionally detailed and full-bodied. The chain is composed of a series of interconnected, round motifs, each featuring an intricately sculpted peacock figure. The peacocks are symbols of beauty and grace in Indian culture. The entire chain, including these motifs, has a matte or oxidized golden finish, which gives the piece an antique and heirloom quality.

The centerpiece is a large, elaborate pendant that serves as the focal point of the haram. The pendant features the revered Hindu goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth and prosperity, seated in the center. She is flanked by two intricately detailed peacocks, and the entire pendant is adorned with stones and small, round gold-toned beads.

The set includes a pair of matching earrings that mirror the design of the pendant, featuring the goddess Lakshmi in a similar setting. This haram is a perfect example of traditional temple jewelry, designed to make a grand and regal statement and perfectly suited to complement a traditional bridal ensemble.
