The Bhairavi Silver Kasumala Coin Necklace
Closely resembling a traditional Indian ‘kasu-mala’ or coin necklace, depicting Laxmi the goddess of wealth, the Bhairavi necklace does differ in certain details. The shape of the coins here is oval, not round, and it is a closely fitting necklace like a choker.
Crafted in pure silver and dipped in 24-carat gold, this piece is part of the Temple Jewellery collection by KO. It is crafted using techniques used in ancient South Indian antique jewellery. All pieces in this collection are made in Sterling (92.5) Silver and gold-dipped through a special process to give them an antique look. The necklace is paired with matching coin-motif jhumkas.

The necklace is beautifully crafted with an authentic antique look. The oval coins are detailed and the gold dip gives it a rich, traditional feel. It fits snugly and looks elegant with my traditional outfit. I love how it reflects the cultural design of South Indian temple jewellery.

I was drawn to this piece for its cultural significance and craftsmanship. The silver is smooth and the gold finish is subtle but noticeable. It pairs well with the jhumkas. A bit tight at first, but the tassel helps adjust it comfortably.
