Forming Necklace – JCNL334

Design: The necklace features a long, intricate chain made of multiple strands of gold beads. The main attraction is the large, elaborate pendant. This pendant showcases classic temple jewelry motifs, including a prominent figure of a goddess (likely Goddess Lakshmi), surrounded by intricate carvings and a teardrop-shaped border.

Embellishments: The pendant is richly embellished with vibrant, colored stones, which are typically Kemp stones (a type of synthetic ruby and emerald). The design is further enhanced by dangling pearls at the bottom, which add a touch of elegance and movement.

Purpose: This style of long necklace, known as a Haram, is a staple in traditional South Indian bridal and ceremonial attire. It is designed to be worn over a shorter necklace or choker, creating a magnificent layered look.
