Deep ruby drops hang from a choker built on rows of pearl, and the contrast is the whole appeal, warm red against cool cream. Gold flowers with red centres anchor the front, each one finished with a teardrop that moves when you do.

This one leans bridal, the red doing the heavy lifting while the pearls keep it soft enough to wear all evening. It comes with a matching tikka. Ruby reads rich under warm light, so it earns its place at a nikah or a reception, on the bride or on someone close to her. A handcrafted, kundan-style pearl choker with real presence.
