This pendant set is a vibrant example of Jadau-inspired or Antique Meenakari jewelry, blending a royal geometric structure with a playful use of color.
Pendant Shape: The set features a diamond-shaped (rhombus) frame with an open-work "jali" (lattice) design. The center is anchored by a raised, four-pointed star or floral motif.
Color Palette: It follows a classic Navratan-inspired theme, utilizing a trio of colors:
Ruby Red: Small pavé-set stones along the top borders.
Emerald Green: Stones lining the side borders for a rich contrast.
White Zircon/Kundan: A clear, sparkling central stone and a triple-stone bail at the top for a hint of brilliance.
The Bail: The pendant is attached to a three-stone cluster bail, which gives it an elegant drop and ensures it sits perfectly on a gold chain.
Decorative Fringe (Latkan): The bottom of both the pendant and earrings is adorned with multiple bead droplets. These include alternating maroon and dark green round beads capped with tiny gold-toned "ghungroo" accents.
Earrings: The matching earrings are identical in design to the pendant but scaled slightly smaller, maintaining a perfect symmetrical look that frames the face beautifully.
Metal Finish: The base is a bright REAL gold-plated finish with intricate textured detailing on the central gold petals, giving it a handcrafted, artisan feel.
This set is versatile enough to be worn with a simple ethnic tunic or to add a pop of color to a modern, solid-toned dress.
