Vadasery Tradition

Where Temple Jewellery Meets Timeless Craft

Vadasery, in the Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu, has long been associated with the tradition of South Indian temple jewellery. The craft involves pressing real 24ct gold leaf onto a 925 sterling silver base, setting genuine kemp stones and pearls by hand — a process unchanged for generations.

Each piece is crafted to reflect the iconography of South Indian temples — Lakshmi motifs, mango (manga) designs, peacock patterns, and lotus detailing. Whether for a Bharatanatyam arangetram, a classical music performance, or a traditional wedding, Vadasery jewellery carries a weight of heritage that no factory-made piece can replicate.

  • 925 sterling silver base — durable and stage-ready
  • Genuine kemp stones and freshwater pearls hand-set
  • Temple motifs: Lakshmi, mango, peacock, lotus designs
  • Screw-type bangles for secure, adjustable fit
  • Suitable for dance, weddings, and temple ceremonies
  • Shipped worldwide — 100+ countries served

Your Questions Answered

What is Vadasery temple jewellery?

Vadasery temple jewellery refers to the traditional South Indian temple jewellery tradition from the Vadasery region of Kanyakumari district, Tamil Nadu. It is characterised by intricate temple motifs — Lakshmi, mango, peacock, lotus — handcrafted on a 925 sterling silver base with real 24ct gold leaf by traditional artisans.

What pieces are in a complete temple jewellery set?

A full set includes: necklace (maalai), choker (adigai), earrings (mattal/jimiki), bangles (kaapu), armlets (vanki), waist belt (oddiyanam), hair ornament (jada), and forehead piece (netti chutti). Full sets are available at templejewellery.com/shop.

Is Vadasery jewellery suitable for Bharatanatyam?

Yes. Vadasery-style temple jewellery is the traditional choice for Bharatanatyam arangetrams and stage performances. The pieces are lightweight, securely finished, and designed to withstand energetic dance movements.

What is the difference between original and imitation temple jewellery?

Original temple jewellery uses a 925 sterling silver base with real 24ct gold applied as a hand-pressed sheet — entirely handcrafted. Imitation sets use lighter metals with synthetic stones and are more affordable, ideal for regular dance practice. Both styles are available at our marketplace.

Yes — we ship to 100+ countries including USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Singapore, UAE, Malaysia, Germany, France, and more. All pieces are carefully packed for international transit. Visit templejewellery.com/shop to browse and order.
