The cascading, tiered design of rich ruby Kemp stones, beautifully contrasted with delicate emerald green accents and a shower of luminous pearls, immediately signals a piece crafted for the grandeur of classical Indian dance. This Mattal, or ear chain, features four distinct scalloped segments, each meticulously set with spinels and fringed with tiny imitation pearls, culminating in a dramatic, stage-ready adornment that truly captures the light and movement of a Bharatanatyam performance.

These elegant ear chains are designed to enhance the grace and visual impact of any classical dance ensemble, from an Arangetram debut to a seasoned stage performance. The intricate pattern, reminiscent of traditional temple architecture, frames the face beautifully, drawing attention to the dancer's expressive movements.

A: A Mattal is an ornamental ear chain that connects the earring to the hair, providing additional support and enhancing the traditional look. It typically hooks onto the earring stud or post, and then secures into the hair, often at the back of the ear, with a small hook or clip. Our customers, especially dancers preparing for an Arangetram, find it essential for a complete Bharatanatyam costume.
A: Absolutely. These Kemp stone Mattals are designed with the vibrant aesthetics and durability required for significant stage performances like an Arangetram. The traditional temple design ensures an authentic classical dance look, and their lightweight construction allows for comfortable, expressive movement throughout the program. We've seen thousands of dancers shine in similar pieces over our 57+ years.
A: To maintain the lustre and longevity of your Mattal, store it in an airtight plastic pouch or a jewellery box with a soft lining, away from moisture and direct sunlight. After wear, gently wipe it with a dry, soft cloth to remove any oils or sweat. Avoid exposing it to perfumes, hairsprays, or harsh chemicals, which can tarnish the gold-leaved finish and dull the Kemp stones.
