Necklace
Temple haarams, kemp chokers and everyday strands — hand-rolled from Cauvery basin clay, kiln-fired for eight hours and painted by hand.
Lengths run from 14-inch chokers that sit at the collarbone to 26-inch haarams for bridal wear, all on an adjustable cotton dori. Nothing is moulded, so bead sizes vary slightly along a strand — that irregularity is what stops a long necklace looking machine-made.
Every piece is nickel-free with no plating, and a full set weighs 60 to 110 grams.
How to choose a neckpiece
A short choker sits at the collarbone and suits high-necked blouses. Haarams fall below the chest and read best against a plain silk saree. If you are wearing both, keep the earrings small so the neckline stays the focus.
