Oxidised Cat's-Eye Chandbali Earrings

A wide oxidised crescent, pierced right through like a jaali screen, with two peacocks facing a single domed cat's-eye stone at the centre. Under it, a dense fringe of small pearls and silver beads that moves every time you turn your head.

• Oxidised silver-tone finish over a base-metal alloy
• Domed cat's-eye glass cabochon, bezel-set, with kundan-style accent stones
• Faux pearl and bead fringe, strung by hand
• Filigree floret stud with a push-back post
• Pink with turquoise accents, or yellow with magenta

Wear it with a plain kurta and let the earrings do the talking, or with a heavy saree for mehndi and sangeet. The crescent is hollow and pierced rather than solid, so a pair sits lighter on the earlobe than its width suggests.
