Deceptively simple, though delicately detailed, as the necklace may be, it's also unequivocally eye-catching. Laid out like a short matar-mala, each collet framed by a single pak-tar with the central trio sporting a half-surround of ball and topa-karai (only on the pala in the middle), the whole jewel sees large cabochon pearls, Indian rubies, faux turquoise, and a paste pala arranged in a rare and rivetting combination.
