TARATA PENDANT

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

PENDANT WITH CHAIN

The white flower of the semi-evergreen shrub called Tarata (Tecoma stans) in Odia is famously offered to the gods in the temples as an offering. It flowers, known for their cluster tulip shapes in yellow and white, are grown for ornamental purposes. The wood is used in furniture and its classic edgy leaves have been known to be a potent anti-venom. Our depiction of the Tarata leaves in their edged glory and natural veins in stoneware complete with a chain made of natural fibres and packaged in a hand carved wooden box is a reminder to us to wear our living heritage with a smile. The pendant comes with threads made of natural fibre and dhokra beads.

The pārijātā jewellery collection is a dedication to the beautiful leaves, vines, and flowers of an amazingly biodiverse state. Each handmade ceramic stoneware pendant piece is carefully crafted to reflect the natural elements of the leaf, vine or flower and elements from local craft traditions are reference. The pārijātā jewellery collection reminds us of the fragile nature of our relationship and encourages us to wear our love and concern for nature with pride.
