Key Features
- Each teardrop sits in its own rimmed frame rather than being set directly into a plate.
- The frames fan outward in a scalloped arc, so the lower edge reads as a series of curves.
- A round stone above the fan marks the centre and gives the arrangement a top point.
- Fashioned in 925 sterling silver, with beaded rims worked around each of the individual teardrop frames.
- A pear drop hangs free beneath the fan and adds one moving element to a fixed design.
Styling Suggestions
A scalloped fan spreads wide and sits low, which shows better against a scooped neckline than a closed one. Wear it to engagements and receptions where the pendant has room to be seen. Keep bangles light so the arms do not compete with the neck.
FAQs
What is a bezel rim?
A bezel is a rim of metal that wraps a stone and folds slightly over its edge to hold it in place. Here each rim is finished with tiny beads along its border, a technique called milgrain that softens the outline.
Why are the frames teardrop shaped?
A teardrop is wider at the bottom than the top, so a row of them naturally forms a scalloped lower edge. Round frames would have given a flatter and more repetitive line, without the fanning effect this design depends on.
Will this sit flat on the collarbone?
It should. The fan is built on a curved frame that follows the line of the neck rather than running straight across, so the pendant lies flat against the skin instead of standing away from it whenever you lean forward.
Is silver suitable for a wedding function?
Many families now choose silver for functions and keep gold for the ceremony itself. Silver reads as bright against most saree colours, costs far less to replace, and suits anyone who wants a piece they will actually wear again afterwards.
