The Goddess is flanked by two peacocks on her side. All pieces in this collection are crafted in Sterling (92.5) Silver and gold dipped in a special process to give them an antique look. The necklace has been paired with matching kempu-stone earstuds.
The pendant is hung on a maroon colour tassel that is detachable. So you can wear the pendant on a different chain too.

The pendant is beautifully crafted with intricate nakkasi work. The peacocks on either side add a traditional touch. The maroon tassel is a nice contrast and the antique finish looks authentic. I love how it complements my everyday wear.

The quality of the silver and the detailing are impressive. The pendant feels heavy and solid, which gives it a genuine feel. I did notice the tassel is slightly loose, but it’s easy to adjust. Would recommend for anyone interested in traditional Indian jewellery.
