Description
The Elakkathali is perhaps the most mesmerizing piece of traditional Kerala jewelry. This gold-plated choker is a masterclass in texture and movement, featuring a continuous row of small, delicate leaf-shaped drops that catch the light with every move. It is an essential part of a traditional bride’s collection and a timeless choice for festive occasions.
Design & Features
• Continuous Leaf Cascade: Instead of a single central pendant, this choker is composed of numerous small, highly polished thali (leaf) motifs linked together. These drops cover the entire front half of the necklace, creating a rich, dense look.
• The “Shimmer” Effect: Each small leaf is designed to be lightweight and slightly mobile, creating the signature shimmering effect (Elakkam) that gives this jewelry its name.
• Real Gold Look: Expertly gold-plated to achieve the deep, warm yellow hue characteristic of authentic 22k Kerala gold.
• Modern Choker Style: Designed to sit snugly at the base of the neck. It comes with an adjustable back chain to ensure a perfect fit for all neck sizes.
• Traditional Craftsmanship: A pure traditional design, free from the heavy imagery of temple jewelry, making it versatile for various cultural ceremonies.
