This Kerala Palakka necklace with mango-shaped pendant is a 24K gold-plated copper piece rooted in Kerala's classical jewellery tradition. The Palakka — the distinctive green-stoned gold necklace of Kerala — is one of the most recognisable symbols of Kerala's bridal and temple jewellery heritage. This piece pairs the traditional Palakka bead arrangement with a mango-shaped pendant, one of the most auspicious motifs in South Indian jewellery.
The Palakka: Kerala's Signature Jewellery
The Palakka (also spelled Palakka Mala) is a traditional Kerala necklace characterised by its distinctive green stones set in gold. Historically worn by Kerala women during festivals, weddings, and temple visits, it is one of the most culturally significant jewellery forms in Kerala's heritage. The green stones — traditionally uncut emeralds in antique pieces — are set in intricate gold frameworks, creating a jewellery form that is both visually striking and deeply meaningful.
The Mango Pendant
The mango motif — known as the Manga in South Indian jewellery — is one of the most auspicious symbols in Indian tradition, representing fertility, prosperity, and new beginnings. It is a recurring motif in Kerala's temple jewellery and bridal sets, making this pendant a culturally resonant centrepiece for the Palakka necklace.

Traditional Onam Decor Mini Gift Set - Elephant, Kathakali Magnet & Nettipattam Car Hanging
The cute Onam hamper beautifully captured the essence of Onam with traditional goodies and cultural touches that made it truly special. My North Indian friend loved experiencing a piece of Kerala’s traditions. The packaging was elegant and overall it made the feel extra special. Highly recommend for anyone looking to gift something meaningful and culturally rich!
The table is cool and gives a beautiful vibe to the home. Would be nice to have taller sizes as well to make a set

I purchased the product when it is shown 10% discount for first purchase but during billing it was missing. When contacted the staff they promptly responded by refunding the amount which I never expected. I have become your ambassador and recommending for my friends. Please keep it up for your growth.
