Mirror Heart Ring
True love! This famous design of Nakarali is a modern remake of a very old (250+ years) ring which we collected years ago.
In Mughal India this ring was an important piece for every woman to own. Traditionally known as an Arsi, the ring was worn on the thumb and designed to hold a mirror so that a woman of the time (who traditionally wore a veil covering her face and was not supposed to look directly at a man) could have her back turned, yet still ‘spy’ on who she had her eye on!
This thoughtfully reconstructed ring design features large granulation work and hollow body for easy everyday wear (traditionally the Arsi ring was filled with wax to give weight). Granulation work was commonly used in ancient jewelry from India to Greece and Egypt, and still used extensively today in Indian jewelry.
