The Rudranuush Silver Mohanmala Necklace
One of the most striking features of nakkasi jewellery is that the gods/figures depicted seem to have a life-like quality. In this ornate nakkasi pendant, the image of Lord Ganesha seated on a throne, flanked by two peacocks, is reproduced in rare detail, in three-dimensional repousse. An ornate piece with an irresistible antique charm, this is sure to become a heirloom.
The pendant is hung on a chain made up of ornate, gold-dipped, silver beads. Crafted using techniques used in ancient South Indian antique gold temple jewellery, the entire piece is made in pure Sterling silver (92.5%) and gold-dipped. This is a detachable pendant that can be worn on a different chain as well. The necklace is paired with matching jhumkas featuring the same Ganesha motif.

Received the necklace in perfect condition. The craftsmanship is exceptional, especially the peacocks and the throne detail. The silver is shiny and the gold dip is well applied. The jhumkas match perfectly and make a complete set.

The pendant is very detailed and has a classic antique look. The chain is comfortable to wear. I wish the gold dip was more vibrant, but overall it’s a high-quality piece that feels heirloom-worthy.

The craftsmanship is excellent and the design is unique. The only minor note is that the chain is a bit stiff, but it’s not a dealbreaker. I plan to pass this down to my daughter as a family heirloom.
