Riha Studs

Infused with the verdant splendor of a royal garden, the Riha Studs in emerald green and champagne are a breathtaking homage to the timeless elegance of Indian heritage. The design is deeply rooted in the ‘Meenakari’ and ‘Kundan’ traditions, where the vibrancy of colored stones is used to tell a story of luxury and refinement. Each stud is an architectural marvel, featuring a tiered floral design that builds depth and dimension through artisanal hand-work. At the center lies a luminous champagne stone, surrounded by a halo of smaller crystals and a striking ring of emerald-hued marquise stones. These green accents are reminiscent of the lush landscapes of the Kashmir valley, a frequent inspiration for historical South Asian motifs. The texture of the piece is a sophisticated interplay of polished metal and the crystalline shimmer of the hand-set stones, mirroring the ‘Mukaish’ embroidery techniques where metal is flattened into fabric to create a shimmering, ethereal effect. In terms of silhouette, the Riha Studs offer a generous flare that sits comfortably against the earlobe, providing a regal presence without the weight of traditional ‘Jhumkas’. They are the perfect accompaniment for a festive Mehendi or a grand wedding ceremony. Style them with a lime green or deep forest silk Anarkali to create a cohesive, jewel-toned look. For a more contemporary twist, pair them with a crisp white ‘Chikankari’ kurta and a heavy Banarasi dupatta. The Riha Studs are designed for the woman who appreciates the nuances of artisanal hand-work and wishes to carry a piece of South Asian history with her into the modern world.
