A nod to sophisticated styling, this 18kt white gold ruby lapel pin with a delicate frame of diamonds and gold ‘Ghanda Bherunda’ motifs, makes an assertive statement.

Did you know?

The mythological Ghanda Bherunda was made historical by C. Krishniah Chetty during their tenure as royal jewellers to the Mysore Maharaja. This double-headed eagle was the state insignia of the Maharaja of Mysore, and to date, sits at the heart of Karnataka’s official emblem. Crafted from gold, and studded with rubies, emeralds and diamonds, Ghanda Bherunda pendants were gem-studded medallions typically set in a gold chain, and gifted as tokens of royal favour to eminent individuals for their noble contributions to the state – a practice that won the State of Mysore to be amongst the best administered states in India. C. Krishniah Chetty was commissioned to design and craft over 16 versions of the Ghanda Bherunda; this royal insignia was also incorporated into golden cufflinks gifted to European nobles on Durbar Day during the reign of Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV. The Ghanda Bherunda remains a mystical masterpiece woven in C. Krishniah Chetty’s rich heritage, and continues to make its symbolic appearance in special pieces of jewellery, to this day.

Styling Tips for Ruby Enthusiasts:

Colour Coordination: Wear clothes in neutral colours like black, white, or navy to make your ruby jewellery stand out, or opt for contrasting colours like emerald green to complement the red.

Balance the Bling: If wearing large or multiple ruby pieces, keep the rest of your jewellery minimal. Let the rubies be the focal point.

Occasion Appropriate: Choose the size and sparkle based on the event—larger, more ornate pieces for evenings and celebrations; simpler, smaller pieces for daily wear.
Dream Stack: Layer pendants with necklaces of varying lengths, stack your ruby rings with dainty metal bands, or combine ruby bracelets with bagels – the secret is to mix different metals, textures and gemstones.

Caring for your Reds

To keep your rubies radiant, clean your ruby jewellery using mild soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding any harsh chemicals. Store them separately from other jewellery pieces in a soft, velvety pouch or a lined jewellery case. If your ruby jewellery calls for professional care, C. Krishniah Chetty’s jewellery maintenance services are ready to come to your rescue. Please visit our website for details – https://www.ckcjewellers.com/ckc/search/ruby
