“Makara” or twin-elephant head design Kada

Description

This is a stunning Indian-style Kada (bangle) featuring a “Makara” or twin-elephant head design, radiating a regal and traditional aesthetic.

Design & Motif

Elephant Heads: The open-ended bangle culminates in two highly detailed elephant heads facing each other. This is a classic motif in South Asian jewelry, often symbolizing strength and good fortune.

Enamel Work (Meenakari): The elephants are adorned with vibrant blue and red enamel details around the eyes and trunk, providing a beautiful contrast to the gold.

Gemstone Accents: The heads and collars are studded with small ruby-red stones and emerald-green accents, enhancing the royal feel.

Body & Craftsmanship
Gold Finish: The entire piece features a rich, polished yellow gold plating with a slightly antiqued texture in the crevices of the carvings.

Kundan/Polki Setting: The outer circumference of the bangle is lined with a row of clear kundan-style stones (uncut diamonds or glass), each set into a round gold bezel.

Side Detailing: Along the sides of the bangle, there is an additional row of square-cut red stones, likely rubies or high-quality glass, framed by delicate gold beading.
