Fancy Mangalsutra

The black beads intertwined in gold thread with a chunky pendant is the image of a traditional Mangalsutra.

Talented artisans can create a fancy mangalsutra with mesmerizing designs that are embraced with open hands by modern women. It is the time for short fancy mangalsutras to shine with western outfits.

There are designs which consist solely of gold thread with a couple of black beads here and there and a tiny pendant. This is a kind of fancy mangalsutra that we can adorn as an office wear piece. Another design that is popular among youngsters is where only half of the gold thread is laced with black beads while the other half stays empty. In this design, the pendant too is unique as it depicts a sui-dhaga earring.

Long fancy Mangalsutras are mostly retained for festivities to be paired with traditional wear. They too have undergone immense changes over the years. One of the latest designs is of several threads of black beads joined with a huge round pendant that has a kundan as a centrepiece. This fancy mangalsutra is a piece of statement jewellery that needs nothing else to compliment it. The elegance that it renders to the wearer cannot be described in words.

Diamonds play a massive role in glamorizing the Mangalsutra. The fancy Mangalsutras used for festivities are packed with diamonds studded on the pendant, hence elevating the glamour quotient by a large margin.

Another innovative pattern of fancy Mangalsutras is the one where users can alter the length of the necklace. A slight pull or push at one side of the string is capable of changing its length which allows the wearer to switch according to the event and the mood.

The design of pendants in fancy Mangalsutras have changed a lot in recent times. The large chunky lockets have been chucked out, and delicate strings with tiny beads are used in their place. Flowers, butterflies and even a crescent are designed as the pretty lockets on fancy Mangalsutras. These tiny changes make it an apt choice to team with all your western outfits and look classy along while being traditional as well.

Women are also indulging in various other metals along with gold. Diamonds had been an integral part of the chunky pendant for years. Presently even though the pendants have become tiny, diamonds are still there to spread the shine on it.

The cost-effective versions of a fancy Mangalsutra include using cubic zircon and other non-precious stones along with brass or copper.

Now that there are a huge number of designs in fancy Mangalsutras, we can also find women wearing it in multiple ways. Some love to adorn their necks while others wear it around the wrist as well.
