Neel Padmini Buttons — 22K Gold Plated Royal Blue & Ivory Enamel with Crystals

A blue lotus in a crown of crystals.

Padmini means "of the lotus" — a name of grace and beauty in Indian poetry. Neel is blue, the deep colour of the lotus that blooms on still water.

The Neel Padmini set is cast in solid brass and plated in bright 22K gold, with a scalloped flower-shaped edge. Eight pointed petals of glossy royal blue enamel radiate over a smooth ivory ground, around a centre ring of blue segments and a crystal at the heart. A border of sparkling crystals follows the scalloped rim, so every button catches the light.

Made for the wedding day. It glows on navy and midnight blue sherwanis and bandhgalas, and looks equally fresh on ivory and gold. Pair with a gold silk pocket square.
