The Vintage Victorian Teardrop Polki Necklace | Antique Rhodium & Gold Dual-Tone Set

The Royal Narrative: The Twilight Teardrop
This Ranibaug necklace captures the mysterious beauty of twilight, where shadows meet the last rays of the sun. It moves away from the predictable "all-gold" wedding look, embracing a bold Black Rhodium (Victorian) finish. This set is for the woman who owns the night—confident, edgy, and unafraid to wear darkness as a jewel. It bridges the gap between traditional Indian "Jadau" and modern gothic romance.

Unique Design Elements & Craftsmanship
The magic of this piece lies in its "chiaroscuro" (light and dark) effect.

Black Rhodium Outline: The metal base is treated with a black rhodium finish, which acts as a dark canvas. This makes the white Polki (uncut diamond simulants) pop with an electric brilliance that standard gold settings can't achieve.

Teardrop Rhythm: The design features a continuous row of pear-shaped (teardrop) motifs. The larger teardrops form the outer fringe, creating a scalloped edge that lies beautifully against the skin, softening the neckline.

Dual-Tone Detail: While the front face is dark and dramatic, touches of antique gold peep through the settings and the tiny bead clusters at the bottom, ensuring it still matches your gold wardrobe accents.

Ghazre Fringe: A delicate fringe of tiny white beads (Ghazre) lines the bottom of the necklace, adding a soft, traditional texture to the otherwise modern, edgy structure.

Condensed Styling Tips
The "Cocktail Night" Queen:
Black Gown: This is the ultimate accessory for a black velvet gown or cocktail dress. The black-on-black look with sparkling stones is pure Hollywood glamour.
Reception Look: Wear this with a silver or grey sequin saree. The cool tones of the necklace will blend seamlessly while the stones catch the disco lights.

Neckline:
Sweetheart/Strapless: The curved shape of the necklace mimics the dip of a sweetheart neckline perfectly.
Deep V: It fills the space of a V-neck without cluttering it, thanks to its single-layer design.

Quick Care Guide
Rhodium Rule: The black finish is a surface plating. Never use a polishing cloth or rub it hard, as you might rub the black layer off, revealing the brass underneath.
Chemicals: Hairspray is the biggest enemy of black rhodium. It can leave white spots on the dark metal. Always spray before wearing.
Storage: Wrap in soft cotton or tissue. Do not let it rub against other gold jewelry, as the harder metals can scratch the rhodium finish.
