Frequently asked questions

Everything you might want to know about our temple, brass and Bharatanatyam jewellery — materials, care, shipping and visiting us.

What is temple jewellery?

Temple jewellery is a traditional South Indian style of ornament, originally made to adorn temple deities and Bharatanatyam dancers. It features antique gold-toned finishes, motifs of gods, lotuses and peacocks, and often kempu (red and green) stones. Today it's worn for weddings, classical dance and festive occasions.

What is your temple jewellery made of?

Our pieces are handcrafted in brass and temple steel with antique and gold-polish finishes, set with kempu-style stones and pearls. We focus on honest weights, durable finishes and careful detailing — the look of classical temple gold without the cost of precious metal.

How do I care for temple jewellery so the finish lasts?

Keep it dry and away from perfume, sweat and water, which dull antique and gold-polish finishes fastest. Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after wear and store each piece in an airtight pouch or box. Worn and stored this way, the finish stays rich for years.

Do you ship temple jewellery across India?
