Beaded Black Beauties: Mangalsutra Chains

Wedding jewellery market is constantly evolving, especially in India. Take a look at the wedding collections of online or offline jewellers. You will be amazed to see the latest trends and designs!

The designers at BlueStone have crafted a classic collection of mangalsutra chain designs to highlight your beauty. No matter what kind of pendant you choose, these chains will complement it perfectly.

Why Women Wear Mangalsutras?

Indian weddings are known as one of the most elaborate and colourful weddings in the world. A typical Hindu wedding has a lot of customs and rituals involving the bride and the groom. An extremely important one amongst these rituals is the tying of the mangalsutra. This is akin to the exchange of wedding rings in a Christian wedding. As part of the wedding ceremony, the groom ties a mangalsutra around the bride’s neck.

A mangalsutra is the most widely recognised marker of a Hindu woman’s marital status. Other markers include toe rings, nose rings, kumkum, and bangles. This is one piece of jewellery that an unmarried girl or a widow does not wear. It reminds a married woman of her wedding vows and her promise to remain faithful to her husband. It is also a mark of respect from a husband to his wife. The mangalsutra is also believed to bestow a divine aura on the woman. There are essentially two parts of a mangalsutra. One is the mangalsutra chain and the other is the pendant. You can buy mangalsutra chains online from us as well as mangalsutra pendants.

What is the Significance of Mangalsutra Chains?

When you look at trendy mangalsutra chains online, you will notice that they have two halves. The right side of this chain is believed to exude the power of knowledge or Gnyan Skakti. The left side exudes power over intentions or Iccha Shakti. The pendant where the two sides meet is believed to exude Kriya Shakti or power over one’s actions. When combined, these three powers make the wearer the embodiment of divine energy that drives her life. There is also a belief that the gold in the chain represents Parvati and the black beads represent Shiva. Together, they symbolise the energy of Shiva and Shakti. The black beads in the design too have their own significance. It is believed that they have the power to ward off evil and protect the wearer. It also absorbs any negative energy surrounding the woman, some believe. You may or may not believe in these powers of mangalsutra chains. But you cannot deny the fact that the black and gold design of these chains has a special charm. It complements all kinds of attire, especially ethnic outfits.

In many Telugu communities, it is known as Pustelu or Mangalasutramu. Along with changes in the name, there may also be variations in the design.
