Circular Ornamental Necklace: Inspired from a circular hair ornament made in Banglore, India in about 1880. The V&A musuem paid £9 for the gold ornament which was backed with silver and filled with a natural resin or lacquer to support the thin and very fragile gold. The decoration on the front of the original depicts the Hindu God Vishnu at the centre lying on the serpent Ananta, whose multiple heads fan out over him.
Jewellery Care
We wish for you to enjoy your jewellery for as long as possible, and therefore recommend you read the following care instructions.
Please do not expose the jewellery to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures or sunlight for a prolonged period.
Please make sure to apply cosmetics, perfume and hairspray prior to putting on the jewellery to avoid possible blemishing and discolouration.
Do remove the jewellery when performing any activity which may cause damage to the product, e.g. exercising, showering or performing household tasks.
Store each piece of jewellery separately as constant brushing together can damage the finish.
Acid in your skin and fragrances can attack the plated finish and so from time to time you should gently wash the items in your hands with warm soapy water.
Do not use brushes or cloths. Rinse in warm water and dry carefully.
Avoid using Ultrasonic jewellery cleaner which can dislodge the stones.
