The Vasudha Filigree Kadas

Material & Craftsmanship

​Base Metal: High-Grade Premium Brass. Chosen for its durability and its ability to hold the intricate, high-relief floral carvings without losing detail.

​Finish: 22K High-Micron Gold Plated. This process involves a thick layer of gold being bonded to the brass, providing a rich, "real gold" appearance and superior resistance to wear compared to standard flash plating.

​Tone: A warm, Antique Gold hue with a soft matte finish in the recessed areas to highlight the 3D texture.

Design Detailing

​The bangles feature a deeply embossed antique finish with high-relief artistry.

​Motifs: A seamless flow of micro-floral vines and scrolling leaf patterns that wrap around the entire circumference.

​Technique: The texture suggests a mix of Rawa (granulation) and Nakshi (engraving) work, giving the metal a multidimensional feel.

​Structure: They are designed as Kadas (thick bangles), sturdy enough to be worn as standalone statement pieces or paired with thinner gold glass bangles.

​Style Inspiration

​The visual language here is "Vintage Regalism." It draws inspiration from:

​Temple Jewellery Heritage: Reimagining the heavy, divine ornaments of South India into a more wearable, everyday luxury form.

​Old-World Cinematic Aesthetic: Specifically the soft-focus, romantic lighting of 90s period dramas.

​Styling Tip: These pair beautifully with monochromatic silk sarees in champagne, ivory, or deep emerald to let the gold "pop." For a modern twist, wear them with a crisp white button-down and rolled sleeves.

​Jewellery Care Guide

​To ensure the intricate recesses of the engraving don't lose their luster, follow these steps:

Action- Instruction

Last On, First Off - Apply perfumes, lotions, and hairspray before putting on your bangles to avoid chemical buildup in the carvings.

Gentle Cleaning-  Use a very soft toothbrush and lukewarm water with a drop of mild, pH-neutral soap to reach into the floral grooves.

Drying - Pat dry with a lint-free microfiber cloth. Ensure they are 100% dry before storing to prevent moisture spots.

Storage - Store in a padded jewelry box or a soft suede pouch. Avoid stacking them directly against other hard gemstones to prevent scratches.
