Champakali
A necklace of slender bud-shaped motifs, named after the unopened champa flower.
Each element is a long tapered bud, linked side by side so the row sits like a fringe against the collarbone.
The form is Mughal in origin and appears across North India and the Deccan.
Pearl versions hang a small pearl from the tip of each bud, so the row moves as the wearer does.
