Antique Kasumala with Ruby Tone

A Mahalakshmi medallion sits at the centre of the strand, framed by a continuous arrangement of traditional kasu elements and individual ruby-toned stone accents. The medallion is the visual anchor of the piece, with the surrounding coins repeating its ornate teardrop form down the full length of the necklace.

Pair this Kasumala with a Kanchipuram silk saree from Prabha's Heritage in deep maroon, bottle green, mustard, rust or crimson, to give the ruby-toned accents a strong jewel-tone backdrop. For bridal or grand festive dressing, its long adjustable profile suits layering beneath a shorter necklace from Pavizham by Prabha's Heritage.

It suits weddings, bridal dressing, festive celebrations and temple occasions. Style the hair in a traditional bun or braid with jasmine and a reddish-maroon bindi to complement the ruby-toned accents. For a more restrained ceremonial look, let the Kasumala stand alone as the principal necklace.

Is this real gold, or gold-plated?

Neither, strictly. This Kasumala is premium heritage imitation jewellery from Pavizham by Prabha's Heritage: a copper and brass alloy base with an antique gold-plated finish. It is not solid gold and we do not describe it as gold covering or quote a gold content.
