An oval kundan pendant with a large flat white stone at its centre, framed in gold beadwork, with a fringe of small coloured beads hanging beneath it. The matching earrings carry the same oval stone and the same bead fringe at a smaller size.
Setting one large flat kundan stone rather than a cluster of small ones is what gives this pendant its calm, uncluttered look, and the coloured bead fringe is the only decoration added to it.
The pastel bead colours sit better with lighter outfits than a red mangalsutra pendant does, which makes this a good second pendant for someone who mostly wears pastels and soft colours.
Daily wear, and for anyone who wants a mangalsutra pendant that is not red.
What is supplied is the pendant and the matching earrings. The black-bead mangalsutra chain is not part of this listing, so if you do not already have one you will need a chain to hang the pendant on. The pendant has a fitted loop at the top and takes a standard mangalsutra chain.
A single large kundan stone is harder to set well than a cluster, because there is nowhere to hide an uneven edge. The flat polished surface also catches light differently from faceted stones — it glows rather than sparkles, which is the traditional kundan look.
The coloured bead fringe is what makes the two options genuinely different rather than the same piece in two tints. Sea green reads cooler and suits mint, ivory and blue; baby pink is warmer and suits peach, cream and pale rose.
Because the pendant is wider than it is long, it sits flatter against the chest than a round pendant of the same weight. That is worth knowing if you have found mangalsutra pendants tip forward or turn around on the chain during the day.
A thoughtful alternative to the usual red mangalsutra pendant, and a good gift for a bride who wears pastels. More in our mangalsutra collection.
This piece is made on a copper base with a gold-tone plating rather than solid gold, which keeps the price where it is and the weight low enough to wear comfortably. Plating is a surface rather than a bulk property, so how long it lasts depends almost entirely on what it meets — perfume, hairspray and sweat all shorten it, while a dry cloth after wearing and a closed pouch between wearings extend it considerably.
Put this on after perfume, hairspray and hand cream, and take it off before washing, swimming or sleeping. Wipe with a dry soft cloth and use a dry soft brush around the stone settings and between any pearls, where a cloth cannot reach. Store it in a zip-lock pouch — the single most effective thing for a plated piece, because it keeps humid air off the metal. Never use silver polish, dip cleaners or an ultrasonic cleaner.
