Handcrafted Indian necklace consisting of 20 gold elements dressed in polki/uncut diamonds using the traditional jadai technique, equally divided on either side of an elaborate central unit, which is also kundan-set with diamonds decorated with chilai details. The two units adjacent to the central unit represent a majestic peacock, while the remaining units represent a paisley.
All the units are bordered with fungar—small gold cups to which pearls, with green enameled beads, are wired. Suspended from them are clusters of seed pearls, gold balls, and red enameled beads, each connected to a red cabochon tourmaline drop.
Of all bird motifs in Indian jewelry, the peacock is the most important. It is the vahana (mount) of Lord Shiva and Parvati's second son, Karttikeya, and symbolizes joy, beauty, and pride.
