[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1908375, member: 2844"]Agree on the quality. (Thritto) I would call it a hip latkan or saree latkan. India has many languages and dialects and I am sure there are different names for it. A latkan is a garment clip. Latkans can be worn on the hip, slipped over the edge of the saree, but also on the back of the blouse, or to fasten a headscarf. Yours is a hip latkan for a saree or a separate skirt, and you can attach anything you wish to the chain. To get a better view, the top bit is slipped over the waist part of the saree, the dangles and chain are on the hip: [ATTACH=full]244956[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
