Gaja Heritage Kada | 22kt Gold-Plated Elephant Motif Bangle with Ruby & Polki Inlays (Set of 2)

Invoke the majestic stillness of a royal procession with a piece that serves as a wearable talisman of wisdom and strength. This Gaja Heritage Kada is not merely an accessory but a sculptural narrative, capturing the soulful gaze of the sacred elephant in a design that bridges the gap between ancient temple artistry and the refined poise of modern high-fashion.

Design Distinctions

• Hand-Textured Gaja Finials: The bangle is anchored by two facing elephant (Gaja) heads, meticulously cast with high-relief skin textures and adorned with vivid ruby-toned cabochons set into the trunks and crowns.

• Floral Nakashi Shank: The circumference of the kada features a continuous, deeply etched botanical vine pattern, showcasing the precision of traditional Indian Nakashi (engraving) techniques.

• Architectural Stone Settings: Alternating square-cut ruby-red glass and prismatic white Polki are elevated in prominent bezel settings along the spine of the cuff for a rhythmic, geometric contrast.

• Antique Matte Finish: The 22kt gold plating is treated with a specialized matte-antique finish, allowing the intricate shadows of the engravings to pop without the distraction of a high-shine glare.

• Functional Pech Mechanism: Engineered for a seamless fit, the kada utilizes a traditional textured gold Pech (screw-lock) that integrates perfectly into the ornamental design.

How to Wear It

• The Neo-Luxe Sharara: Contrast the Gaja finials against a sculptural silk-lamé sharara set in "Icy Periwinkle" featuring a structured, winged corset.

• The Hand-Painted Drape: Pair this kada with a tulle-silk sari in "Peony Blush" featuring delicate hand-pressed zardozi flowers. 

• The Deconstructed Safari: Style the piece with a belted, sand-toned silk-linen trench layered over high-waisted cigarette pants.
