Layered Diya Polki Maang Tikka Yellow Gold Pearl

The layers sit at different heights and are set from the back forward, one plane at a time. It hangs on the parting from a hook, and the drop is weighted to stop it sliding once it is set. 21 pearls, placed rather than massed.

Jadau setting means the gold is warmed and pressed around each uncut stone rather than gripped by claws. Every stone has to go in before the piece cools past working temperature. 22KT gold is soft to work and unforgiving to finish.

22KT Yellow Gold. 14.5g. Pearls: 21 pcs, 10.82 cts. Polki diamonds. Made to order.
