Antique Gold Elephant & Om Medallion Necklace & Earring Set with Ruby Accents

Steeped in sacred symbolism and masterful craftsmanship, this antique gold temple necklace set alternates ornately carved elephant motifs with circular Om medallions in a continuous, narrative choker design. Each elephant is rendered in fine relief with a caparisoned silhouette — trunk raised for good fortune — flanked by ruby cabochon accents at the forehead. The Om medallions feature intricate scrollwork and swirling vine engravings on a matte gold ground, punctuated with polished kundan-style stone insets. A single textured gold ball drop pendant anchors the centre with quiet elegance. The matching drop earrings feature a circular Om disc top with a raised elephant drop below, finished with a gold ball and ruby bead pendant. Finished with a gold silk thread and pearl bead adjustable closure, this set is a deeply meaningful heirloom piece — equally at home in a temple ceremony or a grand wedding mandap.

Style Tips

• Saree pairing: Magnificent against rich, deep tones — Kanjivaram in ruby red, forest green, deep teal, royal blue, or gold tissue. Also stunning on ivory or cream for a classic bridal look where the antique gold truly shines.
• Blouse: A plain silk or zari-bordered blouse in a complementary tone; avoid heavy embroidery that competes with the necklace's intricate narrative detailing.
• Occasion: Exceptionally suited for weddings, temple ceremonies, Navarathri, Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, and auspicious family functions — the elephant and Om motifs carry deep devotional significance.
• Gifting: A meaningful gift for brides, new homeowners, or any auspicious milestone — the elephant (prosperity) and Om (divine blessing) make this a deeply intentional piece.
• Layering: The structured choker silhouette is complete on its own — wear solo for maximum impact. A long Kasu Mala or pearl opera chain can be layered below for a fuller bridal ensemble.
• Bangles: Complement with plain antique gold bangles or ruby-accented kadas to echo the stone palette.
• Hair & accessories: A low bun with a gold maang tikka or a jasmine gajra braid elevates the traditional aesthetic beautifully.
• Makeup: Warm, golden skin with kohl-defined eyes and a classic ruby red or deep berry lip harmonises perfectly with the antique gold and ruby palette.

Care Tips

• Store in a soft velvet pouch or fabric-lined box — the raised elephant and Om relief work is delicate and can snag or flatten if stored loosely with other pieces.
• Avoid contact with water, sweat, perfume, and chemical sprays — always wear jewellery last when getting ready.
• Wipe gently with a soft, dry muslin cloth after every use to remove oils and residue from the engraved surfaces.
• Use a soft dry brush (like a clean makeup brush) to remove dust from the deep relief carvings and scrollwork crevices — never use water or liquid cleaners.
• Do not use ultrasonic cleaners, steam, or chemical polishes — these will damage the matte antique gold finish and any stone insets.
• Store in an airtight zip-lock bag with a silica gel sachet to prevent tarnishing.
• Handle the earring elephant drops with care — the raised trunk and caparison detailing are fine relief work and should not be pressed or bent.
• Inspect ruby accent settings periodically and have a jeweller re-set any loose stones promptly.
