Attikai Necklace – JCNL715

The Attikai (also known as Attigai or Addigai) is a quintessential South Indian necklace, traditionally characterized by its close-fitting, choker-like design. It is a staple in temple jewelry and bridal wear, often worn to grace the neck above a longer necklace (Haram).

Key Features
Traditional Design: Usually features a single line of stones—traditionally Kemp (ruby-red or emerald-green)—set in gold or high-quality gold-plated brass.

Pendant Artistry: Often includes a central pendant with motifs like Peacocks, Lotus flowers, or Goddess Lakshmi, frequently finished with delicate pearl or stone droplets.

Antique Finish: Modern versions are highly sought after in premium matte or antique gold finishes, which mimic the look of heritage gold jewelry without the high cost.

Fastening: Most sets come with an adjustable back thread (Saram), allowing it to be tightened as a high choker or worn slightly lower on the collarbone.
