Mangalsutra

A mangalsutra is the sacred necklace a bride receives on her wedding day in Hindu tradition, usually a chain of black beads with a gold pendant. The black beads are believed to protect the marriage, and the necklace is worn every day as a symbol of commitment. Jija Jewellery has been crafting traditional Indian jewellery in Satara, Maharashtra, since 2010, and this collection brings together our gold plated mangalsutra designs for weddings, festivals and everyday wear.
