The design is centered around the iconic chaand (crescent moon) and phool (flower) motifs and embodies the significance of Navaratna. While the phool are dressed in the auspicious nine gemstones of the Navaratna, the suspendend crescents, along with several other units, are dressed in polki/uncut diamonds using the traditional jadai technique and bordered by chakkar pirai. This Indian wedding necklace showcases around 55–65 man-hours of skillful and intricate chhilaai details in the gold, which elevate its overall nazakat. Colorful gemstones, inlaid with diamonds, along with pearls and enameled beads juxtapose the rigid necklace with their flowy movements, while also adding a finishing touch. The traditional Hasli necklace is rigid and tapers towards the end in the form of a collar necklace. While some are symmetrical, others may have a pendant. Some also feature enameling on the back. According to Indian astrological knowledge, the nine gems of the Navaratna are thought to protect nine parts of the human body: flesh, fat, bones, hair, feelings, marrow, lymph, blood, and sperm. The number nine is also considered to be a holy number. Read Less
