It is very possible that a family would have at least one ancient Addiga as their ancestral memory. Such is the love.

Here are 5 such Addiga designs to make you Nostalgic and makes your heart Crave them all

The Diamond Addiga
This Addiga is the master design which hasn’t altered across generations. This jewel is made by Navrathan Jewellers with the best quality diamonds and using the ancient closed setting technique. If you are an antique lover, we would definitely suggest you to pick this over all the heavy Diamond chokers available in the market today.

The Naanthadu Addiga
A huge shout out to Vasundhara Diamond roof to make an effort to revive this long lost design. The craftsmanship is clearly reflected in this delicate piece. The neckline is made using a technique called Kolusu or alternately called Naantadu. However the beauty lies in the bird pendants on the either side and the majestic ruby pendant in the centre.

The Kempu Addiga
This is a neck piece loved by all. Back in time, women mostly preferred Rubies over emeralds so that it would match to the contrasting red and pink borders of their Kanchipuram sarees and hence this Kemp Addiga had been an Unanimous choice for women across generations. We have found this design from the antique section of Kojewellery who make gold coated silver jewellery. This design is so perfect and if you want to grad a design, this is just perfect for you being priced at less than 20,000.

But here is how things work about  ,when you place an order online.
Dhanya Sri  of The Raw Silk Bangles says that “We mostly receive orders through social media channels now a days and we have catered to more than 50 lovely brides in the last year itself and the number is increasing.First thing we do is  a small consultation  where we consider few details , we ask them to choose model from my designs and we  customize according to their saree and blouse .Its a team work, we also consider clients suggestions. After the colour and design is short-listed then comes the size chart where the size is confirmed. We help them by providing some details regarding measurements ,so they can easily measure their sizes at home.Later fabric and work is decided. As soon as everything is decided we start working on the bangles. We keep following up with the client on the status update and by sharing  pictures.We can thus make alterations there itself.And thus dispatch takes place.There is continuous interaction with the client till the dispatch.”
