Namaskar Vannakam dear Rasikas!
I will be in Chennai soon with the mission of buying imitation temple jewellery for a bharatanatyam group. I would like to know which store in Chennai (T.Nagar or Mylapore) offers the best price. Thank you !
Cheaper store for imitation temple jewellery in Chennai

Narayana Pearls seems to be my wife's favourite shop, as almost all our stuff is 'imitation' (gold-covered silver) jewellery, but they are a general shop, rather than a dance specialist. They are good about honouring warranties, if something wears thin or falls apart. Branches around; T Nagar has a couple, but not Mylapore, I don't think.
Some of the smaller stores around Mylapore do rental. They will get everything freshly "polished" (plated) for you, so it will look as good as new. Could be a money saver, if it is for one performance, rather than an investment for the future.

If you are in the Mylapore area, you will find dance jewelry both at Giri Traders as well as Shanti Dance needs (right across from Giri) - both are located near the main entrance to the kapALISvarar temple. Both places have 'temple' jewelry - I think it is made from five elements, not sure - they are lighter, but duller. They also have jewelry made from colored glass - these are heavier, but very bright. Both stores also carry them in varying sizes. I find Shanti to be a one-stop shop for the visitor with competing demands on their time. (I am not paid to put a plug in for either place - All I am guilty of is blowing huge sums at both places!)
Narayana pearls seems to be a chain of sorts with stores at many locations in the city.

For dance jewelry needs in Chennai, this is a good source:

I'm sure several stores on that list carry imitation pieces as well. Also, local costume jewelry retailers (not dance specific) are a good bet, so I would take a look around places like Pondy Bazaar where these are a dime a dozen. I'm not sure about typical pricing, but I know in Bangalore I found imitation temple jewelry that was relatively inexpensive. I remember it was about Rs. 400 or 500 for an oddiyanam.
