Handcrafted in gold, this Indian wedding necklace is designed as a flexible row of uncut diamond and gem-encrusted plaques, kundan-set using the traditional jadai technique.

Arranged in a play of squares and marquise-shaped units set within a versatile color palette of rubies and emeralds, the necklace is bordered with fungar—small gold cups to which pearls, with red beads, are wired—on the top and fringes of seed pearls and tourmaline beads, called laria, at the bottom. Scallops, kundan-set with uncut diamonds and dressed with laria of seed pearls and tourmaline beads, give the necklace a graceful, majestic air.
