The Jivya Silver Kirtimukha Necklace & Earrings(Oxidised)

KO Original Design – Evolving Classics . Our Kirtimukha Nakkasi Necklace in 92.5 silver captures the fierce beauty of the mythical “glory-face” that wards off evil, handcrafted in rare detail and set with pretty gemstones.

Where tradition meets contemporary search for meaning , this KO Original Design Kirtimukha Nakkasi Necklace is a true heritage treasure. Crafted in 92.5% sterling silver, this masterpiece embodies perfect symmetry, clean lines, and superior craftsmanship.

At its heart lies the mesmerizing Kirtimukha—a mythical “glory-face” motif, known in South Indian temple architecture for warding off evil. Fierce yet protective, this swallowing monster face, with gaping mouth, protruding tongue, and powerful fangs, is a sacred symbol. Born from the third eye of Lord Shiva, Kirtimukha reminds us of the self-destructive nature of unchecked ego, transforming that energy into protection and grace.

The pendant is rendered in rare three-dimensional repoussé work, bringing the motif to life with astonishing detail. One of the hallmarks of traditional nakkasi jewellery is the life-like presence of the gods and figures is captured here with remarkable precision.

Suspended from a hand-strung chain of premium cultured freshwater pearls and silver wire, the necklace exudes antique charm with a contemporary sensibility. Each piece is oxidised for depth and character, echoing the grandeur of ancient South Indian gold temple jewellery while remaining a modern wearable heirloom.

Meticulously handcrafted by master artisans using centuries-old techniques, this is more than jewellery—it is a piece of living heritage, destined to be treasured for generations
