{"product_id":"the-shikha","title":"The Shikha","description":"\u003cp\u003eShikha — the flame. In this earring, it is literal and intentional: a tall red meenakari enamel leaf rising like fire above a gold Kundan flower, white polki petals fanning below in cool opposition. The contrast between heat and restraint is the entire point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e925 sterling silver, two-tone plating. The meenakari enamel is applied by hand — a technique that requires the karigar to fire the piece multiple times, each layer adding depth to the colour. The Kundan polki below is flat-set without prongs, in the Jaipur tradition. Anti-tarnish e-coated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red or ivory. Nothing in between — The Shikha does not negotiate with colour. A mehendi function, a sangeet, a morning ceremony.
