Frequently Asked Questions

01

What does Sthapathi mean, and what was the beginning of these pieces?

Sthapathi is the master architect, the one who envisioned the great temples of South India. The nose pins begin with what they left behind: pillars, carvings, a symmetry that still stops you. Each piece carries a little of that feeling.

02

How does a Sthapathi piece feel to wear? Heavy or light?

The nose studs have a presence when you look at them. On the nose, it settles easily, lighter than you'd expect.

03

What materials and stones go into the Sthapathi pieces?

Gold, rubies and meenakari. The rubies bring depth, the meenakari brings colour in the Stapathi nose studs. Together, they hold something of the places they draw from.

04

Where can I wear my Sthapathi to?

Weddings, festivals, and occasions that carry a sense of care. Though sometimes the nose pins bring that feeling to an ordinary day, too, simply by being worn.

05

How do you care for a Sthapati nose pin?

Sthapathi pieces have a polish worth protecting. Avoid abrasive materials, scrubs, and hard surfaces, as these dull the finish gradually.
