A strikingly beautiful pair of double-sided round stud earrings showcasing a Glass Polki (Moissanite) centrepiece on the front, framed by a dark green inner ring and a sweeping cobalt blue meenakari outer disc with gold scrollwork — and an equally exquisite reverse in sky blue and cobalt dual-tone meenakari with a floral lotus motif. Every angle a work of art.
The Nilambari is a rare jewellery experience — a stud earring that reveals an entirely new work of art when turned around. The front face presents a classical Jadau composition: a luminous domed Glass Polki (Moissanite) centrepiece cradled in a fine gold rope-twist setting, encircled by a deep forest green enamel ring, and surrounded by a wide cobalt blue meenakari outer disc painted with intricate gold leaf and scrollwork motifs that echo the decorative vocabulary of Mughal miniature art.
But the true revelation lies on the reverse. The back of each earring is a masterpiece of Jaipur's dual-tone meenakari tradition — a vivid sky blue ground overlaid with deep cobalt blue floral and leaf motifs, all traced in fine gold lines, culminating in a central lotus flower of extraordinary detail. The push-back butterfly fitting at the centre sits within the floral design as if it belongs there, seamlessly integrated into the composition.
The Nilambari speaks to the connoisseur — someone who appreciates that true craftsmanship has no hidden sides, no shortcuts, no unfinished backs. These earrings are as much a collector's object as they are a jewellery piece, representing the finest tradition of Jaipur meenakari where every surface is treated as a canvas.
Equally at home worn daily with ethnic workwear, styled for festive occasions, or given as a premium gift — the Nilambari is a piece that will be treasured for generations.
