Silver Mangalsutra
Modern minimal 925 mangalsutra — daily-wear, gold-plated options
A mangalsutra is the sacred necklace worn by married women in Indian tradition. anokhi offers modern, minimal mangalsutra in certified 925 sterling silver — lightweight daily-wear designs, infinity and small-pendant styles, plus gold-plated options that mimic gold at a fraction of the cost. Each is BIS hallmarked, anti-tarnish finished, and made for comfortable everyday wear rather than once-a-year occasions.
How to choose a silver mangalsutra
Why a silver mangalsutra?
A mangalsutra is the black-bead necklace worn by married women in many Hindu communities. A modern silver mangalsutra keeps the black beads and the pendant but in 925 silver with 18k gold plating, so it has the look of gold at a silver price and is light enough for the office.
Which design?
The daily-wear mangalsutra is a simple black-bead chain with gold plating, 18–20 inches long. The modern minimal mangalsutra pairs black beads with 18k gold plating on an 18–20 inch chain. The infinity mangalsutra has a 14 × 8 mm CZ pavé infinity pendant on a double line of black beads, 20 inches with a 2-inch extender and a lobster clasp.
The daily-wear design uses black glass beads, and we label beads as glass rather than calling them onyx or a gemstone.
Price and care
Our mangalsutras run from ₹4,998 to ₹6,598. Gold plating is a thin layer over the silver, so keep the mangalsutra away from perfume, soap and chlorinated water, take it off to bathe, and wipe it with a soft dry cloth. It ships with a certificate of authenticity.
