Shadbara Kanthi with Shadbara Drops in Moonstone

Shadbara, the Persian word for hexagonal, names the defining geometry of this kanthi, a short necklace whose every stone is a flat six-sided world unto itself. Each hexagonal Pachchi Kundan stone sits flush in its gilded frame, pressed into the metal. Baguette zirconia bars separate the units with architectural precision, while white teardrop drops hang from the lower edge. The kanthi is strung on a braided gilded dori finished with a gold tassel, the only moment in this piece where geometry gives way to softness.The Shadbara Drops carry the Kanthi's language into the ear with the same unhurried precision. A single hexagonal Pachchi Kundan stone sits atop two smaller ones arranged below, each flush-set and still, the geometry undisturbed. A baguette zirconia bar anchors the composition before releasing a single deep green teardrop, the same teardrop that punctuates the Kanthi.
