A beauty of a Tanmania-style necklace with chhela gote-chains culminating in a series of ball and twisted wire rondelles bracketing, on both flanks of the polished sphere in the middle, a maroon-and-black candy-striped cloisonné-enamel ball with granulation on it.
The tablet below the sphere has two-tone cloisonné enamelling in maroon and ivory, the decorative central panel eye-catching in contrast. The granulation and ball-border reflect the idiom of the mina ball and rondelles. Beneath the tablet, a paktar flower protrudes out like a canopy with the ball-jhur neatly resting within it. Fun, fabulous and feather-light, this is the kind of necklace that, hand-wrought in hallmarked 22K gold, you'd find hard to resist, especially as you become, when you wear it, the cynosure of everyone's eyes.
