Shalimar Manik Buttons — 22K Gold Plated Ruby Red & Ivory Enamel

A ruby bloom from the Mughal garden.

The Shalimar Bagh is the most celebrated of Mughal gardens. Manik is ruby — the stone of kings and the colour of the Indian wedding.

The Shalimar Manik set is cast in solid brass and plated in 22K gold, with a smooth ivory enamel face. A sculpted flower of translucent ruby-red petals, each outlined in raised gold, opens over an ivory star. Polished gold teardrops form an inner star, and a soft ivory pearl-tone cabochon sits at the centre.

Red, ivory and gold — the classic colours of the wedding day. Made for ivory, cream and gold sherwanis, bandhgalas, Jodhpuri suits and Nehru jackets. Pair with a maroon velvet pocket square. The royal blue version is Shalimar Neel.
