Description
Inspired by the rich tradition of Indian miniature paintings, this handcrafted statement necklace celebrates one of India’s most treasured art forms. Historically, miniature paintings preserved stories of queens, poets, musicians, devotion, and everyday life through incredibly detailed hand-painted portraits. This necklace reimagines that artistic legacy as wearable art.
The antique silver-finish beaded chain creates a bold silhouette while drawing attention to the intricately framed portrait pendant. Every element is designed to feel like a collector’s piece—something discovered in an old haveli, passed down through generations, yet styled effortlessly in the present.

A Few Questions
Is this real silver? No — it’s brass, coated with real silver and oxidised for that antique look. We’d rather tell you exactly what’s in your jewellery than let it pass as something it isn’t.
Will the oxidised finish fade? It softens slightly with wear, which is part of the look. Keeping it away from water and perfume, and storing it properly between wears, keeps it going longest.
What’s the chain length, and is it adjustable? [Confirm — e.g. “Approx. 42 cm, with a 6 cm extension chain so you can wear it higher or lower.”]
