This pair of oversized stud earrings features a masterful blend of traditional craftsmanship and regal aesthetics. Here is a detailed description of the piece:
Design Style: The studs exhibit a classic Kundan-inspired circular or "Chand" motif, characterized by intricate stone setting and a rich, traditional Indian silhouette.
Central Focal Point: At the heart of each stud is a six-pointed star floral motif set with clear glass or uncut kundan (Polki). The center of the star features a warm, golden-toned stone that adds depth to the design.
Halo Detailing: The central star is encircled by a double halo:
An inner ring of pristine white pearls that provides a soft, elegant contrast.
An outer border of deep red beads, likely garnet or ruby-colored, which gives the piece its bold, vibrant character.
Texture and Embellishments: The outermost edge is finished with a dense cluster of tiny red seed beads (pote), creating a textured, fringed effect that adds volume and a handcrafted feel.
Base Metal: The stones are set in a gold-toned brass metal frame, visible in the delicate prong work and the backing, which enhances the warmth of the red and white accents.
