Tatting Jewelry:
Fig 1
Hi friends,
 In Indian marriage ceremony there is one very important ritual part known as "Saptpadi" (sapt = seven and padi = steps). In this ritual, tying the knots with each other bride and groom revolve round the sacred fire seven times and and take seven vows of marriage. For details please see,

At the time of marriage of my son in 2010, I decided to give seven different types of necklaces in seven different colours (Fig 2) at the time of Saptpadi.

Out of these seven types of necklaces, one was tatted necklace and earring which I made for my daughter in law (Fig 1). That was the first time I search for the tatted jewelry. Today I could not find the link of that tatted jewelry set, only I found the earrings here,

In 2015 when I went to USA, I purchased these beads (Fig 3) but I didn't have tatting thread with me. So after returning, I tried to make one earrings using those beads, matching thread was already with me. I knew that after so much gap, its finishing didn't come up to the mark. Any way the earrings were ready and they are in Fig 4.

The design of the earrings is similar to,
