    • A remarkable early 19th-century nalī ring from Tamil Nadu, South India, inspired by traditional vanki armlets. These distinctive wishbone-shaped rings were crafted for ceremonial purposes and often gifted to South Indian brides, typically by a maternal aunt, as noted by Nanditha Krishna (1991).
      This example is masterfully crafted from high-karat 22K sheet gold, worked in repoussé to create a hollow yet sculptural form. The face features an intricate depiction of a deity, possibly Vishnu or a Hindu protective figure, framed by divine attendants. At the base, a round faceted ruby is bezel-set, with three natural pearls suspended below, freely dangling from gold wire.
      Measuring 2.5cm north to south, the ring is approximately a UK size J (US 4.5) with an internal diameter of 16mm, and it weighs 5.74g. Despite its age, the ring remains in good overall condition, retaining its fine detailing and rich gold patina.
      Similar rings are housed in prestigious museum collections, including the Victoria & Albert Museum (Accession No: IS.469-2019) and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA No. AC1994.175.1). An exquisite piece of South Indian heritage, steeped in symbolism and tradition.
