About the Collection
Tarikita identifies that jewellery for Indian classical dance is becoming increasingly inaccessible. Traditional temple jewellery is made in silver, covered in gold leaf and studded with semi-precious stones.
But as beautiful as they are, with the sharp rise in silver prices, this jewellery is becoming unaffordable. Also, the longevity of silver jewellery is low, as the gold leaf can get washed away easily and exposed silver gets oxidised. This is further accelerated by the sweat and make up that the jewellery is constantly subjected to, when sported by dancers.
With the aim to bring high quality jewellery that looks good on stage as well as up close, Tarikita introduces the Narthaki collection.
It is an exclusive range of premium quality brass jewellery in iconic designs that are characteristic of Indian temple jewellery style. They are more affordable than silver temple jewellery and can last you for decades without worrying about polish or stones.
