MANGALSUTRA

Shop 18kt Gold Vermeil Mangalsutras – Women's Mangalsutra Designs for Modern Meaning

You know how some jewellery feels like it belongs in a locker more than on your neck? That’s how most mangalsutras end up — gifted with love, worn once or twice, then packed away because they just don’t fit your style. Too chunky, too shiny, too... traditional.

That’s exactly why this collection exists.

PALMONAS takes the meaning behind a simple black beads mangalsutra and turns it into a modern mangalsutra design you’d actually want to wear. Think clean lines, subtle shine, and a bit of edge. Not too much, just enough to make you feel like it was made for you — not your mum.

These aren’t pieces you pull out for Diwali and then forget. They’re built for real life. Waterproof. Anti-tarnish. Skin safe. Designed to sit on your collarbone while you run the day. And if you’re wondering whether they still carry the weight of tradition — absolutely. We just ditched the outdated packaging.

Mangalsutras That Honor Tradition — and Redefine It

The mangalsutra has always been symbolic — a reminder of connection, love, commitment. But the way we live, dress, and express that meaning? That’s changed. So we took the essence of the mangalsutra and reimagined it for your world — where minimalism matters, where quality can’t be compromised, and where you deserve to wear something that aligns with your style.

Crafted with 18k gold vermeil on sterling silver, our mangalsutras are waterproof, anti-tarnish, and skin safe — yes, really. Every piece is made to last and designed to be worn, not stored. With authentic diamonds (lab grown) and high-grade cubic zirconia in select styles, clean detailing, and modern proportions, these mangalsutras don’t shout — they speak.

Each 18kt gold mangalsutra in this collection carries a balance between cultural meaning and design-forward thinking. From short mangalsutra designs that sit right at the collarbone to layered statement styles, there’s something for every neckline and mood. They’re built to sit beautifully on your skin and even better with your outfit — from casual linen shirts to lehengas with an edge.

FAQ

What is the best gold for a mangalsutra?

18kt gold is considered ideal for modern mangalsutras as it offers durability and a rich appearance. Many contemporary pieces use 18k gold vermeil for a luxurious yet accessible option.

Can I wear a mangalsutra every day?

Yes, if it’s made for it. These aren’t delicate museum pieces — they’re built to handle your day, sweat, showers, and all. Wear it and forget it.

What is the significance of the mangalsutra in modern times?

While rooted in tradition, modern mangalsutras symbolise a personal choice. They’re no longer just a marital signifier but a way to carry forward meaning with style and intention.

Are lab-grown diamonds used in these mangalsutras real?

They're not mined, but they are actual diamonds — just made differently. Same look, same feel, minus the inflated price and drama.

What is 18k gold vermeil and how is it different?

18k gold vermeil is a thick layer of 18 karat gold over 925 sterling silver. It offers the look and feel of real gold jewellery without the price tag of solid gold, and it's far more durable than standard gold plating.

How do I style a modern mangalsutra?

Keep it simple — wear it solo with a shirt or layer it with gold chains over a dress. It works with Indian, Western, or whatever’s clean and minimal.
