1960s Antique Turban Ornament (Sarpech) Brooch

About the Item

1960s Antique Turban Ornament (Sarpech) Brooch With Navratna (9) Stones on Nephrite With Diamonds This antique Turban Ornament, from the 1960s also known as a Kilangi or Sarpech is a captivating blend of craftsmanship and artistic expression. Transformed into a brooch this Sarpech effortlessly transitions from being a symbol of royalty, to becoming a timeless jewelry piece that allows you to carry a piece of history wherever you may go. Turban ornaments, referred to as Sarpech or Kilangi held significance in India. They adorned the heads of emperors, maharajas and noblemen. Those who wore the Sarpech were regarded as individuals of stature respected for their wisdom, wealth and leadership qualities. Hailing from the vibrant land of Rajasthan, Sarpech whispers tales of a bygone era when turban ornaments were the exclusive privilege of royalty. Its roots are in the Mughal Empire, when these elaborate decorations functioned as strong representations of rank and authority. As Mughal authority declined in the 18th century, the Sarpech left the regal sphere and became a sought-after status symbol among local aristocrats. Additionally, this exquisite Sarpech boasts an enchanting ensemble of nine Navratna gemstones, each carefully selected for its unique properties and symbolic significance. The brilliant interaction of priceless stones, such as pearls, sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and other gems, creates a look of classic elegance and enduring beauty. Crafted upon a foundation of nephrite, a gemstone revered for its exquisite jade-like appearance, this Sarpech exudes an aura of refinement and sophistication. Nephrite's calming energy and symbolic association with prosperity, health, and longevity further enhance the Sarpech's allure. It is a stunning addition to any collection, lending a sense of regal majesty to any occasion with its elaborate design and alluring gemstone accents. This brooch, which measures 105 x 30 mm, is a tribute to classic style and cultural relevance. Embrace its legacy, feel its energy, and wear a piece that narrates tales of tradition and cosmic blessings.
