This is how Kemp Jewellery became a popular part of the fashion of the South and the rest of India- as the distinguished ornament worn by the Bharatnatyam and Kuchipudi dancers. The name ‘Kemp’ is derived from the red colour, which is seen in the exquisite stone decoration of these ornaments in abundance.
