From under four grams to a hundred and sixty.
A mangalsutra gets worn every day for decades, so weight matters more here than on anything else in the shop. We keep the range wide on purpose — light enough for an office shift, heavy enough for a wedding — all 22K 916, all HUID stamped.
Three weights, one idea
Pick by how often you will wear it.
- Daily
- Under 4 grams. Light enough that you forget it is on. Goes to the office and to a function without looking wrong at either.
- Occasion
- Around 50 grams. We took a design that normally sits at 70–80 grams and rebuilt it at 50 with the same broad face — same grandeur, smaller bill.
- Bridal
- Up to 160 grams. Heavy meenakari and intricate karigari, made for a Maharashtrian bride and meant to be handed down.
Why weight is the whole conversation
Two mangalsutras can look identical across a room and differ by thirty grams — which is a very large difference in money. The look comes from the width and the face of the pendant, not the mass behind it. So when you tell us a budget, we will show you the widest design that fits it, rather than a smaller version of something dearer.
