Palak-Necklace-Set – JCNL329

Palakka Mala: This is the name for a traditional Kerala necklace. The word “palakka” refers to the leaf-shaped green stones that are the central feature of this design. These necklaces often have green stones (though other colors like red and blue are also used) set in a gold or gold-plated base.

Design Details: The set features a gold-toned chain with a small, intricately designed central pendant. The “palak” or leaf-shaped motifs with green and red stones are present on the pendant and also on the matching earrings. The design is a nod to the lush, green landscapes of Kerala.

Materials: While real “palakka malas” are made with emeralds and gold, this particular set, like the one in the first image, is likely imitation or fashion jewelry. The “Palak” in the name refers to the style, and the pieces are typically made with a base metal (like copper or brass) and finished with a gold polish. The stones are likely synthetic, such as glass or cubic zirconia.
