Ekah Necklace
The design of this contemporary gold and polki necklace is centered around two of the most prominent motifs in Indian jewelry: the pankhi (fan-shaped pendant) and the claw.
The pankhi holds a blue sapphire pagalia (pair of feet) in the center, surrounded by polki/uncut diamonds set using the traditional jadai technique with chilai details around the stones. On the top are three small gold units kundan-set with diamonds, each with a fungar on its top—a small gold cup to which pearls, with red bead finials, are wired. Emerald drops ending with tiny pearls and red enameled beads are suspended from the pankhi.
On either side of the pankhi are pairs of identical claw-shaped units—one fabricated from nephrite and the other with three kundan-set rows of rubies—and glass-cut rosette units, bordered with seed pearls.
All these units are attached to kundan-set rectangles with glass-cut stones strung on a cord using the patwa technique, the craft of using silk and cotton threads to string and even make units. The entire stringing takes about 10 man-hours.
The pagalia are inspired by the Vishnupada symbol, the footprints of Lord Vishnu. The claw motif was regarded as a charm against evil in ancient times.
