Gold gundu malas were a staple in South Indian bridal trunks, passed down through generations as a mark of prosperity and grace. This necklace brings that heirloom energy to the modern wardrobe. Carefully placed gold gundu beads alternate with soft white pearls, forming a rhythmic layout that feels both festive and grounded. The gold beads feature hand-etched detailing that catches the light, while the pearls have natural luster variations that highlight their authenticity.
The design is simple, striking, and made to be worn solo. No pendant or earrings are included, letting the beadwork take centre stage. The length sits perfectly over traditional silk or everyday cotton, giving it rare versatility. Each section is hand-sewn by hand to allow a smooth and even fall around the neckline. It is designed in solid sterling silver, hallmarked at 92.5 percent and gold plated to give the weight and appearance of pure gold, but at a fraction of the price.
This item is in our Saanjh collection, which is inspired by the twilight rituals where pastels of pink and sunset tones create a feeling of calm, homecoming, and modest celebration.
