About This Design

The chand, or crescent moon, shape is a classic motif in Indian jewelry with roots in Mughal and Hyderabadi design. Its curved outline frames the neckline gracefully. The antique finish gives the gold a slightly deeper, softer tone that looks like a treasured heirloom, a style that pairs beautifully with silk sarees and bridal wear. Minakari (meenakari) is the traditional Indian art of fusing colored enamel into gold, adding vivid color and fine detail that make the set especially festive.

How It Wears

The necklace and matching earrings are designed to be worn together for a complete, coordinated look, and the earrings are just as easy to wear on their own. Screw-back earrings hold firmly in place, which is especially helpful for children and for long celebrations.

When to Wear It

This set is made for the big moments: weddings, sangeet and reception, engagement ceremonies, Diwali and other festivals. It also makes a treasured gift for a bride, or for a daughter or daughter-in-law to keep for generations.

Why 22K Gold

22K gold is 91.6% pure gold, the traditional standard for Indian jewelry, prized for its rich yellow color and lasting value. Karat 22 has been a family-owned Houston jeweler for over 40 years and offers the lowest making charges in the industry, so more of what you pay goes into the gold itself.

Care

Put your jewelry on after lotion, hairspray and perfume, and take it off before swimming, bathing or exercising. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wearing and store each piece separately in a soft-lined box so the pieces do not tangle or scratch. Avoid water and harsh polishing cloths on the stone and enamel areas.
