Frequently Asked Questions

01

What is Athangudi, and what drew Mookuthi to it?

Athangudi is a small town in Chettinad where tiles have been made by hand for generations, poured, coloured, and left to settle in the sun. The colours and patterns have a rhythm to them that felt like something Mookuthi already understood. The Athangudi nose pins began there.

02

What makes the Athangudi nose pins stand out from the rest?

Athangudi nose pins carry the geometry and colour of heritage tilework, reimagined in a light, wearable form. Playful yet rooted, they bring a quiet piece of craft culture into the everyday. 

03

What colours and forms do the Athangudi pieces move through?

Warm ochres, deep greens, soft blues, and a red that feels particular to Chettinad. The nose pins follow the geometry of the tiles, measured and unhurried; carrying a part of heritage close to heart, worn on the nose. 

04

What goes into making an Athangudi nose ornament?

The nose studs are shaped in gold in Madras, then sent to Jaipur for meenakari. It is a slow process, two cities, many hands, a lot of patience. At this scale, every small movement shows.

05

How do you care for an Athangudi nose pin?

The Athangudi nose pins carry colour that needs a little care. Keep them away from skincare, makeup, and sweat; these find their way into the meenakari over time and begin to dull it. They are not pieces for every day, but for the days that ask for them.
