Collection: Mangalsutra

A diamond mangalsutra incorporates certified diamonds into the traditional design- whether in the pendant, throughout the chain, or as accent details on the black beads. It combines sacred symbolism with fine jewelry craftsmanship.

Absolutely. Our designs are specifically created for daily wear- lightweight, durable, and comfortable. Many modern mangalsutras are designed to look like elegant necklaces that suit professional and casual settings alike.

Traditional designs feature prominent black beads, gold pendants with recognizable motifs (like vati), and longer lengths. Modern designs use minimal black beads or diamond-studded beads, sleeker pendants, and shorter lengths that layer well with other jewelry.

Traditionally, yes- black beads hold cultural and spiritual significance. However, modern interpretations sometimes minimize or omit them in favor of all-diamond or gold chain designs. The choice depends on your personal preference and cultural comfort.

18k gold is more durable and better suited for daily wear, especially if you're active. 18k gold offers richer color and higher purity. Both are excellent choices; it depends on your lifestyle and preference.

Traditional lengths range from 20-30 inches. Modern styles are often shorter (16-20 inches) for a contemporary look. Consider your daily wardrobe, neckline preferences, and whether you want it visible or tucked under clothing.

Clean regularly with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush, especially around black beads where dirt can accumulate. Remove before sleeping or exercising. We offer professional cleaning services to keep it pristine.

Quality black beads (typically black onyx or spinel) don't fade. However, they can accumulate oils and dirt. Regular gentle cleaning maintains their deep black color.

Yes. Some modern designs feature diamonds set throughout the chain or integrated into the black bead pattern without a separate pendant. We can create chain-only designs if you prefer.

We offer everything from traditional vati (cylindrical pendant) and round motifs to contemporary geometric shapes, initials, symbols, and custom designs that hold personal meaning.

We offer both options, clearly indicated in product details. Both are certified and deliver the same brilliance and durability. The choice is yours based on preference and budget.

While gold and diamonds aren't damaged by water, we recommend removing it to protect the black beads and chain from soap, chemicals, and chlorine, which can affect the cord or settings over time.

We offer repair services for chains and clasps. Most issues are covered under warranty if it's a manufacturing defect. We can also upgrade to more secure clasps if needed.

Yes. We can enhance your current piece by adding diamonds to the pendant, chain, or black bead caps. Bring it in and we'll discuss options that maintain the design's integrity.

This is a personal and cultural decision. From a jewelry care perspective, removing it during sleep, exercise, and water activities actually helps preserve it. Many women choose to wear it daily but remove it for practical reasons.
