Microplated Gajalakshmi Dollar Chain – JCCH445

Design: The central “dollar” or pendant usually features the Gajalakshmi motif and is typically a rounded or patterned shape.

Chain: It consists of a chain with the dollar pendant. The chain can be of various styles and lengths, often worn long.

Material and Plating: It is considered imitation or artificial jewelry.

The base metal is commonly brass or copper, or sometimes a mixed alloy (such as Impon or Panchaloha—a traditional five-metal alloy).

It is coated with a thin layer of real gold (e.g., 24ct) using a technique called micro plating. The micro gold plating allows the jewelry to sparkle and imitate the look of real gold.

Embellishments: The pendant and sometimes the chain may be adorned with semi-precious stones, such as American Diamonds (AD stones), white stones, ruby, and green stones.

Occasion: This type of jewelry is popular for traditional ceremonies, weddings, festivals, and special occasions, and some simpler designs are suitable for daily wear.
