The sets are typically crafted from base metals like alloys, which are then molded using casting methods. This allows for detailed designs and mass production.
The red color is achieved through various techniques, including enameling, plating, or the use of colored resins and stones.
Imitation stones, such as cubic zirconia, rhinestones, or colored glass, are often incorporated to simulate precious gems.
Design and Style:
These sets often feature traditional or contemporary designs, depending on the intended market.
Common design elements include floral patterns, geometric shapes, and intricate filigree work.
The red color is selected for its bold and eye-catching appeal, often associated with festive occasions and celebrations.
Components:
A typical set may include:
A necklace, often a choker or a longer necklace with a central pendant.

A maang tikka (forehead jewelry), particularly common in South Asian-inspired sets.
Sometimes a ring or bracelet.

Casting Set:
