Mahalaya Heirloom Enamel Polki Choker

• Design Aesthetic
Steeped in the grandeur of vintage Rajputana and Mughal-era artistry, the Maharani Meenakari Heirloom Choker is a statement of legacy reimagined. It celebrates the opulence of 18th-century court jewellery with a majestic lattice of floral bursts, paisley elements, and hand-painted enameling. The palette—anchored in regal ruby enamel and contrasted with deep emerald accents—draws the eye to a cascade of meticulously placed motifs that seem to tell a forgotten royal tale. With a broad silhouette and an oversized, temple-style pendant, this choker becomes less of an accessory and more of an heirloom reinterpreted.
• Materials & Craftsmanship
This piece is handcrafted using a copper-based alloy and plated in antique gold tones to evoke an aged, royal finish. True to jadau-inspired techniques, the surface is enriched with faux polki stones and rich enamelwork, skillfully filled by artisans trained in the ancient meenakari tradition. The green drops along the hem are made of glass-based beads shaped like emerald cabochons, individually wire-set and strung to form a tassel-like fringe that adds gentle movement and drama. The back features a silk-thread dori closure, hand-knotted and multicolored in traditional patterns, reflecting the authenticity of temple jewels.
• Set Includes
• Wide handcrafted choker with pendant centerpiece
• Adjustable multicolour silk-thread dori (Earrings not included)
• Styling Tip
Let this choker steal the spotlight by pairing it with a deep sweetheart or U-neck blouse. Ideal over solid raw silks, deep velvets, or contrast Banarasi fabrics, it lends richness to both traditional and fusion silhouettes. Pair with kundan bangles or a statement nose ring for a complete heritage revival look.
• Occasion
This piece is a showstopper for bridal functions, Mehendi soirées, and heritage-themed shoots. It also adds collectible value for those curating a wardrobe of classic Indian replica jewellery.
• Care Instructions
