Behind the design

A sky of stars

Tara means star. Eleven tiny diamonds are scattered among the black beads of this chain the way stars appear against a night sky, never quite evenly, always somewhere for the light to land. Together they give a fine, constant sparkle rather than a single point of light, delicate by day and lovely up close. It is a mangalsutra for a love that lights the way home.
