This lavish pendant demands a special occasion. Once it was a temple ceremony - today, it might be dressed up or down to suit a wedding or celebration. Crafted from silver, this magnificently intricate pendant contrasts the soft sheen of fire gilded silver with bright turquoise and sensuous coral. Originally worn on either side of the head to form a headdress, this gorgeously unique pendant is ready to be repurposed: and the desert silversmith who once put in so many hours of dedication would be pleased to see it being enjoyed again.   

Highly sought-after by collectors, original Indian girdles are valued not just for their design but also their historical importance. Individually made for a prestigious customer, this silver girdle is a showcase of the silversmith's considerable talents. Extremely finely cast and chased, it is the product of an exceptionally highly-trained craftsman with an eye for detail. A rare high quality example of the genre which can be worn today with great effect. Access is made via a removable screw in the centreal decoration.

To ensure they smelt sweet all day, Indian princesses would fill their hair-combs with scented oils. This silver replica is based on the same enchanting design with tiny holes through which the oil can slowly seep. Made in the 1970s using traditional methods of engraving and chasing, it features a pair of beautiful peacocks. A wonderfully feminine idea - beautifully realised. 

Cast using the ancient lost-wax process by tribal nomadic metalsmiths of Eastern India, this piece is a testament to the skills and creativity of these talanted artisans. For precious jewels, earrings or gold, the individually cast halves of this dainty pot lock together to protect your most treasured possessions. An exotic addition to any dressing table!

Occasionally on our travels we come across items that are reletively modern, yet created according to ancient designs that employ the skills acquired over generations of jewellers. This belt buckle is one such piece. The finely detailed dragons and fish representing strength and abundance respectively have been embossed in silver before being exquisitely finished using delicate chasing and repousse. Set with real Tibetan turquoise and coral from Italy this one of a kind buckle is just waiting to be transformed into a beautiful boho belt. 

Although we are passionate about antique and vintage jewellery we cannot help ourselves when coming across other incredible accessories like this amazing Ladakhi ceremonial crown from one of the remotest valleys in India near to the Tibetan border. Overflowing with huge chunks of turquoise interspersed with agate and carnelian, it is bordered with coral, mother of pearl and sandalwood beads. Crowns such as these are worn by women when attending rituals and ceremonies. The crown and other ritual adornments are traditionally passed from one generation to another.

Symbolising "kundalini" power, the cosmic energy coiled and slumbering within us all, the cobra has found its place as a sacred and mystical creature in Indian culture. This particular expression of the beloved cobra has been formed by hand from silver, painstakingly enbellished with hand stamped markings and carefully oxidised to emphasise the effect. Snakes are often produced in Indian jewellery and this one can be seen as a piece of jewellery that cannot be worn but admired on your dressing table as a reminder of your inner spirituality. A rare find indeed.
