Onam is made up of the little things that stick with you. Like hearing the oil pop as banana chips hit the pan, or catching the scent of jasmine while helping your mother with the pookkalam. It’s loud conversations, last-minute outfit fixes, and everyone fighting over who gets the last piece of payasam. It’s not just tradition—it’s a lived-in, familiar kind of joy.
And dressing up is not just what you wear, it is about how it feels. Be it maintaining tradition with a Kasavu saree or opting something newer, your jewellery should complement the vibe too. Which is where Palmonas steps in—providing demi fine jewellery with timeless charm in a modern-day aesthetic.
Palmonas has quickly become a go-to for both women’s and men’s jewellery. You can shop everything online or at our jewellery stores near you, with worldwide delivery making it easy to send a little sparkle across any distance.

Onam Gold Staples That Complete the Kasavu Saree Look
Now, traditionally on Onam you will wear the Kasavu saree or Mundum Neriyathum, so what more to compliment than gold jewellery? White and gold sets the pace to pure South Indian cultural and traditional sophistication laced with a dash of the quintessential flair.
Here’s your traditional Onam-ready checklist:
Gold Chains for Women
Lighter hues of a Kasavu saree indeed bring out the best of you, and on these lines, a simple piece of gold chains for women has the perfect amount of charm for the neckline, but does not shout louder than the peaceful tone of a Kasavu saree. Choose 18k gold plating or gold tone plating instead of surgical grade stainless steel for a longer lasting shiny and skin-friendly wear.
Gold Earrings for Women
From traditional jhumkas to sleek hoops, gold earrings for women are essential to complete the Kasavu look. Go for designs that balance ornate detail with wearability. Think lightweight temple-inspired motifs, lotus patterns, or modern twists on heritage pieces.
Gold Rings for Women
Don’t overlook the hands—Onam feasts involve a lot of hand-serving, after all. Gold rings for women in minimal or antique finish add a touch of tradition to every gesture, whether you're arranging flowers or passing the papadam.
Gold Bracelets for Women
Gold bracelets for women pair beautifully with short-sleeved blouses or sleeveless kurtis — subtle yet statement-making. Stack one or two thin bangles or wear a textured bracelet to add depth without the excess.
Lab Grown Diamonds + New Pairings → Sparkle
Modern or fusion looks—floral lehenga, block-printed co-ord set or a pastel salwar—can enjoy some fun yet polished banter with the jewelleries as well. Enter lab grown diamond jewellery, cubic zirconia details, and pearl accents, for a touch of sparkle you'll feel good in.
Diamond Necklace or Necklace for Women
To give your Onam outfit a heritage look, a diamond necklace (or a modern necklace for women with cubic zirconia or lab grown diamonds) is perfect. Take your pick from short chokers for modern fits, or go with medium-length pendants layered with gold chains for a more festive feel.
Diamond Rings for Women
Sleek, stylish and low maintenance — suitable for gifting or styling this season. But whether you are draped in a basic kurti or an elaborate lehenga, a single statement ring or two stacked together, can help to change that.
Diamond Bracelet Women
Diamond bracelets (or a traditional hard zirconia bracelet) is a good way to show off your wrist without making it feel like a wedding. Mix rhodium plating for a contemporary style with 925 sterling silver bases.
Diamond Earrings for Women
The ultimate transitional accessory—diamond earrings for women pair just as well with sarees as with fusion wear. Studs or small drops with lab grown diamonds or pearls create an ethereal balance of subtlety and glam.
Men Deserve to Shine Too This Onam
Let’s be real: men usually get the short end of the style stick during festivals. Not this year. Palmonas is changing the game with its men’s jewellery collection that pairs beautifully with mundus, kurtas, and everything in between.
Gold Chain Design for Men
An all-time classic for the males of the society is a minimalist golden chain that sits right below the collarbone. It adds so many style points whether it is under a shirt or layered over a kurta. If you want the durability without the weight, choose gold plated jewellery made with surgical grade stainless steel instead.
Men’s Chains
Bold or minimal—men’s chains come in various textures and lengths. For Onam, go with a slightly chunky chain that pairs well with white or beige outfits, or try a rope-style chain for a subtle statement.
Men’s Gold Plated Rings
If you’re looking to add just a hint of luxe, men’s gold plated rings are a foolproof way to accessorize without going overboard. Choose engraved styles or signet rings with a clean finish.
Gold Bracelet for Men
Bracelets aren’t just for the ladies. A matte or lightly hammered gold bracelet for men is perfect to complement both traditional as well as contemporary attires.
Gold Plated Men’s Bracelet
For a bolder yet understated festive option, punch it up a notch with a gold plated men’s bracelet, a true statement accessory. Bonus: it also makes a solid gift for men during Onam.
Onam Gifting Ideas That Go Beyond the Usual
This festival is about giving, too. Whether you’re shopping for your mom, brother, best friend, or partner, Palmonas has gifting-worthy options that feel special and aren’t cookie-cutter.
Gifts for Girls
You can’t go wrong with gifts for girls like dainty stud earrings for women, slim gold rings, charm bracelets, or minimalist chains. These pieces work for every age and aesthetic—classic, modern, or fusion.
Gifts for Men
For the men in your life, practical yet stylish gifts for men like men’s gold plated rings, gold plated men’s bracelets, or minimal chains tick all the right boxes.
Bonus? Every piece is packaged in luxe boxes and available via online or offline stores, with worldwide shipping, making Palmonas the easy pick for last-minute Onam gifts—or for shipping love across the miles.
