Mahalaya Heirloom Polki Choker – Meenakari Kundan Bridal Necklace

A wide meenakari choker with an oversized temple-style pendant — 18th-century Rajputana court jewellery, handcrafted anew.

Design Aesthetic

Steeped in the grandeur of vintage Rajputana and Mughal-era artistry, the Mahalaya Heirloom Enamel Polki Choker is a statement of legacy reimagined. It celebrates the opulence of 18th-century court jewellery with a majestic lattice of floral bursts, paisley elements and hand-painted enamelling.

The palette — anchored in regal ruby enamel and contrasted with deep emerald accents — draws the eye across a cascade of meticulously placed motifs. With its broad silhouette and oversized, temple-style pendant, this is less an accessory than an heirloom reinterpreted.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Handcrafted using a copper-based alloy and plated in antique gold tones to evoke an aged, royal finish. True to jadau-inspired techniques, the surface is enriched with faux polki stones and rich enamelwork, filled by artisans trained in the ancient meenakari tradition.

The green drops along the hem are glass-based beads shaped like emerald cabochons, individually wire-set and strung to form a tassel-like fringe that adds gentle movement. The back features a hand-knotted silk-thread dori closure in traditional multicoloured patterns.

Set Includes

• Wide handcrafted choker with pendant centrepiece
• Adjustable multicolour silk-thread dori
• Earrings not included

Styling Tip

Let this choker take the spotlight by pairing it with a deep sweetheart or U-neck blouse. Ideal over solid raw silks, deep velvets or contrast Banarasi fabrics, it lends richness to both traditional and fusion silhouettes. Pair with kundan bangles or a statement nose ring for a complete heritage look.

Occasion

A showstopper for bridal functions, mehendi soirées and heritage-themed shoots — and a collectible piece for anyone curating a wardrobe of classic Indian jewellery.
