Crescentic jewellery in gold is often seen throughout the many regions of India in styles peculiar to the customs and traditions of the community they're related to. In Assam, for example, you'll see them far different ---- more clunky and unadorned ---- from the finely patterned ones of Rajasthan and Gujarat. But whatever their provenance, there's no denying the fact that they're powerfully primal ornaments that are striking in appearance and embolden your presence at any occasion you wear them to. Here, a rounded, buffed mini gorget of a crescent with a plain wire border is given a basic topa-karai edging and plain rings at the ends ---- and that's all there is to it. Fitted with red and black beads from which emerges the scarlet loose-thread tassel, this stunningly light and lightly stunning pendant is simple enough to be magic and powerful enough to hold it. Crafted by hand in hallmarked, natural yellow 22K gold, all that remains to be seen is how soon this little jewel works its wonders on you
