Manipuri double-crescents, the lower one with three pendulous polished half-jhumkas each with a ball clapper, and the one on top sporting a ball-trefoil crown is the majestic centrepiece to this unique necklace where the x-phul tipki chains culminate in single four-leaf clovers from which the double-crescents are suspended. The void in the centre is dramatic and arrests the eye, creating for the jewel a unique volume. It also helps keep in check the weight of the necklace. All in all, a very different design with a tribal slant and of ethnic workmanship, this handmade, hallmarked 22K gold half-set is perfectly in line with the kind of uncommon jewellery that we at The Gold factory are committed purveyors of.
