The way the deep ruby red Kemp stones cascade down these Nagar Mattis, punctuated by brilliant white AD accents and clusters of freshwater pearls, immediately evokes the grandeur of a temple deity's adornments. This particular design, with its signature Nagas-inspired curve at the base and intricate pearl drops, is a true testament to the timeless artistry of traditional South Indian temple jewellery. At Shanthi Tailors, we understand the significance of every detail, particularly for dancers and devotees who seek authentic pieces that resonate with heritage and grace. These Mattis are not just accessories; they are a connection to a rich cultural legacy, meticulously crafted to perfection.

Adorning Dancers and Devotees Alike

For decades, our clients, from budding Bharatanatyam dancers to brides and temple visitors, have sought pieces like these Nagar Mattis for their unparalleled beauty and traditional fidelity. Crafted with a genuine silver base and meticulously finished with gold leaf, these ear chains offer the weight and feel of traditional gold jewellery without the prohibitive cost. The premium Kemp (spinel) stones are chosen for their vibrant, consistent hue, ensuring they pop beautifully under stage lights or in the soft glow of a temple lamp. This is the kind of original temple jewellery that holds its charm for generations.

The Craft of Authentic Temple Adornments

Our commitment at Shanthi Tailors, spanning over 57 years, is to preserve the intricate techniques that define authentic temple jewellery. Each Nagar Matti is a labor of love, featuring individual setting of the Kemp and AD stones, surrounded by delicate pearl clusters that catch the light with every movement. The gold leafing process provides that rich, antique finish that true connoisseurs appreciate, making these pieces ideal for a Bharatanatyam arangetram, a classical dance performance, or any grand celebration. They are designed to be both visually striking and durable, upholding the tradition of fine Indian craftsmanship.
