South-Indian armlet?

Hello everybody,

Can somebody post pictures of rekka patti, type of armlet? This looks exactly like vaddanam (waist belt), but used as armlet. Replica of vaddanam, but smaller in size. This is used mostly in South India, especially Andhra and Tamilnadu.

The curvy-shaped armlet is called ara-vanki, but I need info on rekka patti. Glad if you can share your views!

Thanq in advance!
Divija.

 

Hello Mythili,

Thanq very much. I browsed Totarams' long back, but not yet Andhra Jewellery. Will definitely give it a try.

Keep posting!

 

Hello,

That andhra jewellery site was not helpful, but thanq anyway.

Hello Haritha,

I have already come across this, but thanq. What you sent, the gold band becomes thinner to the back. But, I want equal width all together. See, below is a picture of what I am looking for. Hope I am clear. If you ever come across such pattern, do let me know.

Thanq very much for the help, Haritha.

Hello,

Long time, no see!

I thought this would be the best place to say "Hi" after a long time. I am really sorry for the late reply and I thank you a lot for the help!

I wanted to talk to you since long, but did not know how. So, I chose this! So, how is your family? Your daughter is still in Aberdeen? Any plans to UK?
