This is a set of wire wrapped necklace and earrings of Bollywood-inspired jewelry made of Argentium sterling silver and copper beads. Sky blue Soo Chow Jade teardrops are dangling under Swarovski Crystals bunch and surrounded by tiny copper beads. My signature cocoon beads adorned this handcrafted necklace.

Mahadevi means the Great Goddess. ONE OF A KIND NECKLACE AND EARRINGS SET.


Both necklace and earrings are really detail oriented. Painstakingly handcrafted and wire wrapped piece by piece to build this awesome set. Truly unique, original, and one of a kind.

Copper is naturally easy to get tarnish. When it happens, just re polish the beads using silver/copper tarnish remover. Or you can leave it oxidized for an antique/vintage look. They look great both ways.

Argentium silver in the other hand is virtually non-tarnish.


Mahadevi necklace has earned wide recognition being a challenge winner and recently has won a Daily Deviation in deviantArt.

Argentium Silver is the most tarnish resistant silver available today. Argentium Sterling Silver is a modern sterling silver alloy which modifies the traditional alloy (92.5% silver + 7.5% copper) by replacing some of the copper with the metalloid germanium. that allows it to be virtually tarnish resistant.
