Traditional Necklaces: Timeless Indian Styles & How to Choose

When you think of Indian jewellery, a traditional necklace is the first thing that pops up. From weddings to festivals, these pieces add sparkle and meaning to every outfit. At RH Jewellers, we’ve gathered the most loved designs so you can pick the right one for your next event or daily wear.

Popular Styles of Traditional Necklaces

There are a few neckpieces that never go out of fashion. The Rani Haar is a long, heavy chain studded with gold or silver beads and often topped with a tiny pendant. It works great with a plain saree because the necklace does all the talking. Kasah is another favorite – it’s a chunky collar that sits snug on the neck, perfect for a regal look during a wedding ceremony.

If you prefer something lighter, the Choker style, especially the ones with tiny Kundan or Polki stones, adds a modern twist while keeping the traditional vibe. For a touch of regional flair, try a Temple Necklace from South India, which features intricate temple motifs and bright colors that match silk sarees beautifully.

Buying and Caring Tips

Before you click ‘add to cart’, check the hallmark. A 22K gold piece should have a BIS mark, and any silver should show a 925 or 833 stamp. This guarantees you’re getting genuine metal and not a plated copy. Also, feel the weight – a real traditional necklace feels solid but not cumbersome.

Once you own it, keep it safe. Store gold necklaces in a soft cloth pouch to avoid scratches, and avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals like perfume or hairspray. When you need to clean a piece, warm water with mild soap works fine; just pat it dry with a lint‑free cloth.

If you’re buying online, look for detailed photos from multiple angles and read customer reviews. RH Jewellers provides high‑resolution images and a return policy, so you can shop with confidence.
