It is the quickest, and over years the high points of a design are where it thins first, because those are the points that meet your fingers, your collar and the inside of a jewellery box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOpen engraving\u003c\/strong\u003e cuts a line and leaves it.

You get the full contrast of a painted design, but the colour sits in a channel below the surface, so there is nothing standing proud to rub away. It is the same reason inlay lasts, applied to pigment rather than to a second wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also the slowest of the three. Every line has to be cut before anything is coloured, and on a design this dense that is a great many lines — each one final at the moment it is made, because an engraved line cannot be filled back in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sparse motif is forgiving. Leave space around a design and a line that wanders slightly has room to be wrong quietly. Kalpataru leaves almost none. The vines run to the edges and curl back into each other, which means every line is judged against the two beside it. And the leaf narrows to a point at each end, so the scrollwork has to get finer as the space closes without losing its rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pale gold ground is Boxwood, undyed.

It is also two operations rather than one — the carving has to be right first, because a cut cannot be undone, and only then does the colour go in.

It is pale, dense and unusually close-grained, which is what allows a channel this fine to be cut without the fibres tearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the colour painted on top of the wood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The veins are carved into the surface first, and the yellow and green are then filled down into those cut channels. The colour sits inside the wood rather than on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does carving and filling last longer than surface painting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause there is nothing raised for wear to catch. Surface colour sits proud of the wood and abrades over time; colour held below the surface in a cut channel has no exposed edge to rub away. It is the same principle as inlay, with pigment instead of a second wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy are there two colours?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYellow and green are worked into the same carved lines, so the veining changes tone as it runs down the leaf. It is harder than a single fill — each channel has to take its colour cleanly without bleeding into the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long are these earrings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drop measures approximately 5 cm. Long enough to read clearly against the neck, short enough to wear with the hair down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much do they weigh?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 g for the pair — a fraction of what a metal earring of this size would weigh, which is why there is so little pull on the lobe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat shape is this earring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single leaf, tapering to a point at the base, with a midrib running its full length and veins branching off on both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the hooks made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetal alloy, with a metal bail joining the hook to the leaf. If your ears react to particular metals, please write to us at reachchandrakalakriti@gmail.com before ordering and we will tell you exactly what we know rather than guess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat colours does yellow and green go with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMustard, olive, bottle green, cream, off-white and turmeric all suit it. It is a warm, daytime palette — easier with summer and festive dressing than with dark winter tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill my pair look exactly like the photographs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design will match, but the cutting will be its own. Every leaf is carved by hand and the Boxwood grain differs in every offcut, so the depth and spacing of the veins shift slightly from pair to pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre wooden earrings durable enough for regular wear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoxwood is a dense, hard-wearing timber, historically chosen by carvers precisely because it holds fine detail without splitting. Handled with ordinary care — not dropped onto tile, not left sitting in water — Ankhia is made for repeated wear over years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan they get wet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease avoid it. Take them off before bathing, swimming or exercising. If they do get damp, dry them at once with a soft cloth and let them air fully before storing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo these suit sarees, or western wear too?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth. Yellow and green on pale wood work against handloom and cotton sarees as naturally as they do with linen or denim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I clean and store them?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA soft, dry cloth after each wear — nothing wet, nothing abrasive, no solvent of any kind. Store the pair on its own in the box or pouch it arrived in, somewhere cool, dry and away from sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these a good keepsake, and how are they packed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Every pair is quality-checked and packed in premium protective packaging, ready to give — a considered keepsake for birthdays, anniversaries, festivals and corporate gifting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does delivery take, and what if the parcel arrives damaged?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrders are dispatched within 2–3 working days.

Its grain is too dark to read, which is what makes it a clean ground for painted work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the black colour painted or stained?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeither. Ebony grows this dark on its own and needs no treatment at all. Only the gold is applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the gold painted by hand?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, pair by pair. There is no print, transfer or decal. That is why the motif carries the slight variation of a brush rather than the uniformity of a machine — and why no two pairs are exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is painting on Ebony harder than on a pale wood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause there is nowhere for a line to hide. On a pale or figured wood the grain absorbs small irregularities; on a surface this dark and this even, every stroke is fully visible and cannot be softened afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long is the drop?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hanging element is approximately 3 cm — short enough to wear with the hair down, and small enough not to catch on a collar or a scarf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much do they weigh?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 g for the pair, which is a fraction of what the same design would weigh in metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the gold wear off?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot with ordinary wear and sensible care. What damages hand-painted work is solvent and abrasion — so keep the pair away from perfume, sanitiser, alcohol-based cleaners and anything rough, and wipe only with a soft dry cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat shape is the lower element?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bud — rounded at the crown, tapering smoothly to a point. It is carved in the round, meaning it has no flat side and no back: the form continues all the way around, so it turns as it hangs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the hooks made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetal alloy, with a metal ring joining the two elements. If your ears react to particular metals, please write to us at reachchandrakalakriti@gmail.com before ordering and we will tell you exactly what we know rather than guess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes black and gold suit festive wear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticularly well. Gold reads clearly under low light, so this is a pair for evening functions, weddings and receptions — and it sits comfortably beside gold-bordered sarees and gold jewellery rather than competing with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill my pair look exactly like the photographs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design will match, but the brushwork will be its own. Every motif is painted by hand, so its exact weight and placement shift slightly from pair to pair. That variation is the evidence a person made it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre wooden earrings durable enough for regular wear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEbony is among the hardest woods worked anywhere. Handled with ordinary care — not dropped onto tile, not left sitting in water — Aparna is made for repeated wear over years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan they get wet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease avoid it, and more strictly than with our unpainted pieces. Take them off before bathing, swimming or exercising. If they do get damp, dry them at once with a soft cloth and let them air fully before storing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I clean and store them?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA soft, dry cloth after each wear — nothing wet, nothing abrasive, no solvent of any kind. Store the pair on its own in the box or pouch it arrived in, somewhere cool, dry and away from sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these a good keepsake, and how are they packed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Black and gold suits almost any wardrobe, which makes this an easy pair to give. Every pair is quality-checked and packed in premium protective packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does delivery take, and what if the parcel arrives damaged?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrders are dispatched within 2–3 working days.

Break one and the stripes would still be there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this design demanding is how little there is to hide behind.

Ebony, Boxwood and Padauk have different densities, so bringing all three to one level surface takes more care than levelling a single pair — and on a bar this plain, there is nothing else on the piece to distract from a seam that is not quite right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the red colour natural?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It is Padauk, which grows a strong orange-red without any treatment. The gold is Boxwood and the black is Ebony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the red fade?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt deepens rather than fades, moving from bright coral towards brick red over months and years in light and air. All Padauk does this. Storing the pair away from direct sunlight slows it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the joins come apart?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot with ordinary wear. A properly prepared joint in dense hardwood is as strong as the wood on either side of it. What stresses any join over time is moisture, which is the main reason to keep wooden jewellery dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long are these earrings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bar is approximately 4 cm. Nothing hangs past the jawline, which is what makes this one of the more practical designs in the range for everyday wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much do they weigh?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 g for the pair — a fraction of what a metal bar of the same size would weigh, so there is very little pull on the lobe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the hooks made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetal alloy, with a metal bail joining the hook to the bar. If your ears react to particular metals, please write to us at reachchandrakalakriti@gmail.com before ordering and we will tell you exactly what we know rather than guess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I wear these with a necklace?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Vedika is slim and short, so unlike our broader statement designs it sits comfortably alongside a fine chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre wooden earrings durable enough for regular wear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEbony, Boxwood and Padauk are all dense, close-grained hardwoods chosen for strength. Handled with ordinary care — not dropped onto tile, not left sitting in water — Vedika is built for years of wear rather than a season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat if they get wet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake them off before showering, swimming or working out, and keep them away from sustained damp. If a splash lands on them, dry it with a soft cloth and leave the pair in open air for a while before storing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill my pair look exactly like the photographs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design will match, but the band widths, the grain and the exact depth of the Padauk will differ, because three natural woods vary independently of one another. Two pairs are never quite the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these a good keepsake, and how are they packed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Every pair is quality-checked and packed in premium protective packaging, ready to give — a considered keepsake for birthdays, anniversaries, festivals and corporate gifting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does delivery take, and what if the parcel arrives damaged?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrders are dispatched within 2–3 working days.

A midrib runs its full length with angled veins branching off on both sides, each one a channel cut into the pale wood and then filled with deep blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCut first, then coloured\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis matters for a practical reason as much as an aesthetic one. Colour applied to the surface of wood sits proud of it, and anything raised eventually abrades with daily wear. Colour held below the surface in a cut channel has no exposed edge to rub away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the same principle as inlay, with pigment in place of a second wood. It is also two operations rather than one: the carving has to be right first, because a cut cannot be undone, and only then does the colour go in. A midrib running the entire length of a leaf is the unforgiving version of that work — there is no short stroke to hide a wobble in, and the line has to stay true from the crown to the tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy navy on Boxwood\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoxwood is pale, dense and exceptionally close-grained — historically the wood carvers reached for when they needed fine detail to hold. That tight grain lets a narrow channel be cut without the fibres tearing, and keeps the colour crisp inside it instead of bleeding along the grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNavy against warm gold is a cooler pairing than most of what we make. Where red would read as festive, blue reads as quiet — which makes this an easier piece for an ordinary working day, and an unusual one against indigo, denim and handloom blues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boxwood, responsibly repurposed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCraft technique:\u003c\/strong\u003e hand-shaped, hand-carved veining, colour filled by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e a single leaf with carved navy blue veining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrop length:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 g per pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFindings:\u003c\/strong\u003e metal alloy hooks with a metal bail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit:\u003c\/strong\u003e one pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e India, carved and finished by hand by skilled artisans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to style Ahana Wooden Earrings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWith a saree.\u003c\/strong\u003e Navy and gold sit beautifully against indigo, denim-blue, cream, off-white, grey and black — cotton, khadi, linen and handloom drapes especially.

A three-dimensional form has to be worked from every angle, and the grain runs a different way at every one of them — what cuts cleanly at the crown will want to tear at the tip. There is no back to hide a mistake on, because there is no back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoxwood is the traditional wood for exactly this kind of work.

The wood is responsibly repurposed exotic hardwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the black colour painted, stained or lacquered?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Ebony grows that colour. It is naturally near-black and needs no treatment at all to look this way — which is precisely why it has been prized for centuries. Nothing on Trinetra is dyed, stained or painted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the name mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrinetra is Sanskrit for \u003cem\u003ethree-eyed\u003c\/em\u003e.

Two squares sit on their points, and the one between them is set flat, rotated forty-five degrees against its neighbours.

Handled with ordinary care — not dropped onto tile, not left sitting in water — Trinetra is built for years of wear rather than a season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat if they get wet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake them off before showering, swimming or working out, and keep them away from sustained damp.

Ebony is already at the dark end of what wood does, so it holds its depth far better than a pale wood holds its paleness. Keeping the pair out of direct sunlight preserves the gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I clean and store them?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA soft, dry cloth after each wear — no water, no soap, no alcohol-based cleaner. A gloss surface shows marks more readily than a matte one, so a wipe after wearing matters here. Store the pair on its own in the box or pouch it arrived in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill my pair look exactly like the photographs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery close. Ebony is the one wood in the range where variation is least visible, because the grain is so dark it barely reads — but each square is still cut and polished by hand from repurposed offcuts, so small differences remain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these a good keepsake, and how are they packed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

The form earns it: a shield with a point at its base, crossed by chevrons that run edge to edge like plating. It is one of the few pieces in this range where the name, the shape and the pattern are all saying the same thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe chevrons are inlay, not lines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach dark chevron across the Boxwood is a strip of Ebony set into a channel cut in the pale wood, seated, then sanded and polished back until both woods finish level. Run a finger across the face and you feel one continuous surface — no ridge, no groove, no seam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChevrons are the hardest form of inlay we do. A straight line needs one true channel; a chevron needs two, meeting at an exact angle, and every one of them has to point the same way and sit parallel to the one above. An error of a degree at the join shows immediately, and there are several joins on every piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo shapes, two woods\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove the shield sits a separate element in solid Ebony, shaped to a soft point at the crown and a downward point at its base, where it meets the Boxwood. It is deliberately plain — no inlay, no pattern — so that the eye reads it as a dark cap rather than as competition for the chevrons below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colours are the woods' own. Boxwood grows pale gold, Ebony near-black; nothing here is dyed, stained or painted.

The shield is Boxwood, pale gold and close-grained. The finial above it and the chevrons set into the shield are both Ebony, a dense near-black hardwood.

A chevron needs two channels meeting at an exact angle, and every chevron has to point the same way and stay parallel to the one above it. A degree of error at the join is visible immediately, and there are several joins on each piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the name Varmini mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes from \u003cem\u003evarman\u003c\/em\u003e, the Sanskrit word for armour.

The upper one is a solid Ebony finial, pointed at the crown and pointed again where it meets the piece below. The lower one is a shield — broad across the shoulders, straight down the sides, tapering to a point at the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the Ebony inlay come loose or fall out?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strips are seated into channels and finished flush, not glued onto the surface, so there is no raised edge for anything to catch. Kept dry and handled with ordinary care, the inlay stays where it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the black wood painted or stained?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Ebony is naturally near-black and needs no treatment at all. Nothing on Varmini is dyed, stained or painted — the contrast is simply the difference between two species of wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the hooks made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetal alloy, with a metal ring joining the two elements. If your ears react to particular metals, please write to us at reachchandrakalakriti@gmail.com before ordering and we will tell you exactly what we know rather than guess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a large earring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is one of the broader designs in the range — the shield is wide as well as long, so it reads as a definite statement rather than an everyday piece. Wear it with the hair back so the full shape is visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre wooden earrings durable enough for regular wear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoxwood and Ebony are both dense, close-grained hardwoods chosen for strength, and Ebony is among the hardest woods worked anywhere.

The form follows it exactly: a slender leaf, tapering to a point, with two small notches cut into each side so the silhouette breaks like a frond rather than sitting as a smooth oval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCut first, then coloured\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe red veining on Taru is not painted onto the surface. Each line is \u003cstrong\u003ecarved into the wood first\u003c\/strong\u003e — a midrib running the full length of the leaf, with angled veins branching off it on both sides — and the colour is then worked down into those incised channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the same logic as inlay, with pigment in place of a second wood. And it matters for a practical reason: because the colour sits below the surface plane rather than on top of it, there is nothing raised for daily wear to rub against. Surface paint sits proud and eventually abrades. Colour held in a cut channel does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also two operations rather than one. The carving has to be right first, because a cut cannot be undone — and only then does the colour go in. Cutting a vein that runs the entire length of a leaf is the unforgiving version of this work: there is no short stroke to hide a wobble in, and the line has to stay true from the crown all the way to the tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Boxwood\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoxwood is pale, dense and exceptionally close-grained — historically the wood carvers reached for when they needed fine detail to hold. That tight grain is what lets a channel this narrow be cut cleanly without the fibres tearing, and what keeps the colour crisp inside it instead of bleeding out along the grain. On an open-grained timber neither would work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boxwood, responsibly repurposed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCraft technique:\u003c\/strong\u003e hand-shaped, hand-carved veining, then colour filled by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e a long leaf form with notched edges and carved red veining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFindings:\u003c\/strong\u003e metal alloy hooks with a metal bail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit:\u003c\/strong\u003e one pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e India, carved and finished by hand by skilled artisans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to style Taru Wooden Earrings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWith a saree.\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm gold with red is one of the most natural palettes a saree can take.

It is pale, dense and unusually close-grained, which is exactly what allows a channel this fine to be cut without the fibres tearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the red veining painted on top of the wood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The veins are carved into the surface first, and the colour is then filled down into those cut channels. The red sits inside the wood rather than on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does carving and filling last longer than painting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause there is nothing raised for wear to catch.

The leaf form is where the name comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat shape is this earring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA long, slender leaf, tapering to a point at the base, with two small notches cut into each side so the outline breaks like a frond instead of running smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow difficult is the carving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe midrib runs the entire length of the leaf, which is the hardest kind of line to cut — there is no short stroke to hide an error in, and a cut cannot be undone once made.

That variation is the evidence a person made it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these long earrings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

If they do get damp, dry them at once with a soft cloth and let them air fully before storing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo these suit sarees, or western wear too?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth. The gold-and-red palette sits naturally with cotton, khadi and handloom sarees, while the leaf shape is soft enough to work with a plain white shirt or linen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I clean and store them?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA soft, dry cloth after each wear — nothing wet, nothing abrasive, no solvent of any kind.

Nothing is printed, transferred or stuck on. That is also why the design cannot rub off: a cut line has no raised surface to wear away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long is the bracelet, and will it fit me?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe engraved section measures about 9 cm. The braided cord ties to length rather than fastening with a clasp, so one size adjusts to a slim wrist, a broad one or a child's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a men's or a women's bracelet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeither, and both.

It is light, it has no clasp to fumble with and no sharp edges, and the cord ties to any size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it comfortable to wear all day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWood weighs a fraction of what metal does at the same size, and it warms to skin temperature instead of staying cold against the wrist. The discs are flat, so nothing digs in when you rest your arm on a desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the bracelet get wet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease take it off before showering, swimming or washing up. A splash will not harm it — dry it with a soft cloth and let it air. What to avoid is sustained damp, which is harder on a cord than on the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the black colour natural?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Ebony grows near-black and needs no treatment to look this way. Nothing on Kavach is dyed, stained or painted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the engraving wear away?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The symbols are cut into the wood rather than applied to it, so there is nothing raised for daily wear to rub against.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Ebony strong enough for a bracelet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEbony is among the hardest woods worked anywhere, which is one reason it was chosen for the first Kavach. A bracelet takes more knocks than an earring, and this is a wood that stands up to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill my bracelet look exactly like the photographs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery close. Ebony varies least of any wood we use, because the grain is too dark to read — but each disc is cut and engraved by hand from repurposed offcuts, so small differences remain between one piece and the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a good gift?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is one of the easiest things in our range to give, because there is no size to guess and no men's or women's version to choose between.

It is not. The panel is solid Boxwood, and the dark lines that separate every strip are \u003cstrong\u003eEbony inlay\u003c\/strong\u003e: narrow channels cut into the pale wood, filled with strips of near-black hardwood, then sanded and polished back until both woods finish level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe illusion works because of where the lines stop. In a real weave, a strip disappears under its neighbour and reappears on the other side. Here each run of inlay has to break exactly where the imaginary strip passes beneath, and resume exactly where it emerges — four times, at four different angles, around a square set on its point. Set one line a millimetre short and the weave stops reading as a weave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRun a finger across the panel and you feel one continuous surface.

The panel is a single piece of solid Boxwood. The woven appearance comes from Ebony inlay — dark lines set into the pale wood in four groups running at four angles, breaking and resuming exactly where a real strip would pass under its neighbour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the dark lines painted or engraved?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeither.

A brass or silver chandelier of this silhouette is the kind of earring you feel by the third hour. Jhumar weighs 10 g the pair, because the panel is thin and the batons are turned light — so it lasts a full function without pulling on the lobe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to wear my hair up?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is strongly recommended.

Storing the pair flat rather than loose in a box keeps them hanging straight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the hooks made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetal alloy, with metal rings linking the batons and joining the strands to the panel. If your ears react to particular metals, please write to us at reachchandrakalakriti@gmail.com before ordering and we will tell you exactly what we know rather than guess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the black wood painted or stained?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Ebony is naturally near-black and needs no treatment at all. Nothing on Jhumar is dyed, stained or painted — the contrast is simply the difference between two species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat occasions suit a chandelier earring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeddings, receptions, sangeet and mehendi functions, festive evenings and parties. It is an occasion shape rather than an everyday one, and it works best where there is room for it to be seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre wooden earrings durable enough for regular wear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoxwood and Ebony are both dense, close-grained hardwoods, and Ebony is among the hardest worked anywhere. The one thing to be careful with on this design is the strands — lift the pair by the hook rather than by the batons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat if they get wet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake them off before showering, swimming or working out, and keep them away from sustained damp. Water is the one thing inlaid work genuinely dislikes, because two woods set together respond differently to moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the colours change over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGently. Boxwood warms towards a deeper honey with age and light, while Ebony holds its depth, so the contrast softens a little over the years. That is natural ageing, not fading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill my pair look exactly like the photographs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery close, but the grain will be its own. Each panel is cut from repurposed offcuts and each line of inlay is set by hand, so the figuring in the Boxwood shifts from pair to pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these a good keepsake, and how are they packed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — particularly as an occasion gift, since a chandelier earring is the kind of piece most people would not buy for themselves. Every pair is quality-checked and packed in premium protective packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does delivery take, and what if the parcel arrives damaged?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrders are dispatched within 2–3 working days. Inside India, delivery takes 2–3 days to metro cities and 5–7 days elsewhere, and prepaid orders ship free; Cash on Delivery is available at selected locations with a ₹50 cash-handling charge.

Nothing on the surface but polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you are looking at is the wood itself — a deep orange-red shot through with fine darker streaks, which is Padauk's natural figure.

Aruna carries none of them, and that removes the safety net.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn a decorated piece, the eye goes to the pattern. A line that runs a fraction off true, an edge that isn't quite even — the decoration absorbs it. Here there is nothing to look at except the outline and the surface, so both have to be right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe outline is the difficult part. Every edge on this fan is a curve, and they curve in opposite directions: the sides sweep inward, the base sweeps outward. There is no straight line anywhere to measure against and no way to check the shape with a rule — it is judged by eye, and it has to match on the second earring. The two sides also have to mirror each other exactly, because a fan that leans is immediately obvious hanging beside a face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen the surface. Padauk is an open-grained wood, so bringing it to an even polish takes more passes than a close-grained one. Any flat spot in the curve shows up as a dull patch the moment light moves across it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe colour will change, and that is not a fault\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePadauk is unusual among hardwoods: it is at its brightest when freshly cut, and it deepens over time. Expect the vivid orange-red to settle toward a richer, darker red-brown over months and years, particularly with exposure to daylight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNothing is fading — there is no dye to fade. The wood is oxidising, the same way it would in a piece of furniture, and most people prefer where it ends up.

Padauk — also called African Coral Wood — comes out of the log this colour. Nothing on this pair is dyed, stained or painted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the colour fade?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt will change, but it will not fade. Padauk deepens with time and daylight, moving from bright orange-red toward a darker red-brown. Since there is no dye involved, nothing is being lost — the wood is simply maturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the drop?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAbout 4 cm for the fan, plus the hook above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much do they weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n5 g the pair — the lightest design we make. A metal earring this size would weigh many times that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dark streaks running through the red?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPadauk's natural grain. They vary from piece to piece, which is why no two fans look identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there any inlay or engraving on these?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. Aruna is deliberately plain — one piece of wood, shaped and polished.
