Kundan Rakdi with Moti Piroi

Moti piroi, hand-strung pearl work, has long been part of Rajasthani jewellery. This piece brings it together with a round, rakdi-inspired kundan pendant for a look that is festive yet soft.

Design details

• Several strands of white seed pearls, gathered into sections of pink-toned pearls
• Red accent beads where the strands meet
• Round pendant with clear kundan stones around a ruby-red centre, set on an emerald-green base and edged with tiny pearls
• Gold-tone pendant frame

How to wear it

Its length falls well below the collarbone, so it looks best over a saree blouse, kurta or a lehenga with a higher neckline. Wear it on its own for mehendi or a puja, or layer it under a choker for a fuller bridal look.

Care

Imitation jewellery stays bright longest when kept dry. Put it on after perfume and make-up, wipe it with a soft dry cloth after wearing, and store it in its pouch. Read our full care guide.
