Occasional Wear Mangalsutras

An integral part of the marriage ceremony all across India, Sri Lanka and Nepal, the mangalsutra is a necklace that the groom ties around the bride’s neck in a ceremony called the Magalaya Dharanam, which literally means ‘wearing the auspicious’. The mangalsutra is an elegant long chain with black beads and a pendant, the design of which varies in each part of India.

If its your first time at PureJewels, our collection of mangalsutra features high quality jewellery designs for everyday and occasion wear.

A 22ct gold mangalsutra holds significant importance, especially in South Asian cultures, where it is a vital symbol of marriage and commitment in special occasion. Here’s why it’s particularly valued:

Symbol of Marriage:

The mangalsutra is a traditional necklace worn by married Hindu women. It symbolizes the marital bond and is believed to bring good fortune and longevity to the husband. A 22ct gold mangalsutra, with its high purity, enhances the significance of this symbol.

Purity and Value:

22ct gold jewellery is 91.6% pure gold, which makes it more valuable and durable than lower carat options. The choice of 22ct gold reflects the importance of the mangalsutra in the marriage ceremony and its role as a lasting token of the marital relationship.

Traditional Significance:

In many cultures, especially in India, gold is associated with prosperity and auspiciousness. A 22ct gold mangalsutra aligns with these traditional values, enhancing its cultural and religious significance.

Longevity:

Gold is known for its durability, and 22ct gold jewellery, despite being softer than 24ct gold, still offers longevity. A mangalsutra made from 22ct gold is likely to last for generations, making it a cherished heirloom.

Aesthetic Appeal:

22ct gold has a rich, warm color that many find attractive. The high gold content gives the mangalsutra a luxurious look that is often preferred for such an important piece of jewelry.

Investment:

Given its high gold content, a 22ct gold mangalsutra can also serve as a valuable investment. Gold’s value tends to appreciate over time, adding to the financial significance of the piece.

Cultural and Personal Value:

Beyond its material worth, a 22ct gold mangalsutra carries deep personal and cultural significance. It often becomes a treasured part of a woman’s jewelry collection, symbolizing the sacred bond of marriage.

Overall, a 22ct gold mangalsutra is more than just a piece of jewelry; it’s a powerful symbol of marital commitment, cultural heritage, and personal value.
