One Indian bracelet for Japan, and the sets to leave at home
Posted by CUNEI INDIA
Most of this drop is wrong for a weekday in Tokyo. It was made for an Indian function: red and green enamel, floral centres, sets that include a maang tikka. On a train, in an office, in most restaurants, a full set looks like costume. One bracelet does not.
We have written before about small Kashmiri earrings for this wardrobe. This note is the wrist version.
Three that stay small
- Green Lotus cuff, ₹4,250. One oval centre. No row of charms.
- Mint Crescent, ₹4,600. The colour is pale. It does not shout across a table.
- Pink Medallion, ₹4,700. A round centre and two small stones. Still a single object.
Wear it on one wrist. Leave the other bare, or with a plain watch. Two enamel bracelets on one arm is the version that stops looking ordinary.
What to leave in India
The Ruby Barrel bracelet at ₹6,550 and the Green Temple set at ₹6,550 are function pieces. So are the layered sets and anything with a maang tikka. They belong at a wedding the family is hosting, or at a Diwali lunch in Nishikasai, not at work.
If the occasion really is that lunch, the loudest set we would send is the Ruby Leaf at ₹4,350. Necklace and studs. No tikka. Leaf charms, a red flower centre, and then it ends.
