These drop earrings are a must-buy if quirky is your thing. Sterling silver has been smithed into the shape of the fluffy Indian sparrow, its adorable little beak jutting out from its head. The same has been studded with miniscule turquoise gems in varying cuts to give it eyes and plumage and tails. The multiple shades and tints of silver-rimmed turquoises lend to this pair a kind of dynamicism that does not usually belong to the realm of jewellery-making. Indeed, it is the finish that gives away the superior workmanship with which these earrings have been made.

While silver goes with a wide range of colours and outfits, the pastel blue of the turquoise would make this look great with blue-dominant dresses. Go for neutral foundation colours and let these earrings do all the talking. Picturesque jewellery in India is abound with the more glamorous faunal motifs such as peacocks or cat-eyes. To smith silver into the humble sparrow, an aspect of everyday Indian home-life, makes for a statement that is at once eclectic and grounded in the culture of the subcontinent.
