About This Design
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. Filigree work uses fine, twisted gold wire shaped into open, lace-like patterns, one of the oldest and most admired techniques in Indian goldsmithing. Diamond-cut faceting carves tiny angled surfaces into the gold so it sparkles as it moves.
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. The necklace closes with a traditional hook lock that is secure and simple to fasten. An extension chain lets you adjust the length so it sits just where you like on the neckline.
When to Wear It
Light enough for family gatherings, pujas and festive dinners yet elegant enough for weddings and Diwali, this set is a versatile addition to any jewelry collection and a thoughtful gift for a birthday, anniversary or milestone.
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.
