Handcrafted in sterling silver with genuine hand-painted miniature paintings/artworks enclosed between a silver plate and a glass front.

You can, of course, script your own narrative- buy a plain linked necklace in this listing and then hop over to add to it.
This is not a blend-in, safe necklace option. It will draw attention. But it is super versatile and will integrate effortlessly into your wardrobe. Glamorous enough to have that “it” factor yet something that will age well and be heirloom-worthy for future generations.
Dimensions: The total length of the necklace is 17.5” an additional 1.5” extension chain. The necklace comprises 6 pipes in the center that are 3.5 cm long each, with a regular thin chain on either side.
Please note: The pendants/painted units, in the Signature piece, are attached to the necklace and can't be removed and used as charms.
In a quaint home-cum-studio in Rajasthan, each miniature is deftly painted, using centuries-old techniques. Please allow for minor variations in the artwork and color, in keeping with their hand-painted nature.
