Saundarya Mangalsutra

Saundarya is the mangalsutra your mother would recognise and your workday won't fight: two strands of 2.5mm jet-black glass beads alternating with gold, gathering at a traditional domed vati pendant set with a ring of crystals. At 46cm it sits inside most necklines, and at 14 grams it forgets itself by mid-morning. Heritage geometry, modern metallurgy.

The black beads are said to absorb the evil eye; the gold, to hold the good. Whatever one believes, the mangalsutra is the most continuously worn jewellery form in India — which is precisely why it deserves plating that survives continuous wear. Saundarya means beauty; the classical kind, that doesn't date.

316L surgical-grade stainless steel with 18k gold-tone PVD plating, jet-black glass beads, hand-set AAA cubic zirconia. Nickel-safe, hypoallergenic, anti-tarnish, waterproof.

Wipe with the soft cloth included in your Krasna box after wear. Put jewellery on after perfume and lotion have dried. Store in the pouch, away from direct sunlight. PVD plating is water-friendly — showers and handwashing are fine; avoid chlorinated pools.
