5 Layered Emerald Kasu Mala

5 Layered Emerald Kasu Mala with Coin Pendants

The fullest coin necklace in the range. Five strands of emerald-green beads, interrupted by wide panels of cream pearls set with gold-tone florets, and closing along the lower edge with a deep row of Lakshmi coin pendants. Where a lighter kasu mala suggests the tradition, this one commits to it.

What makes this piece work

• Wide pearl panels, not narrow bands. The pearl sections here are broad blocks several beads deep, framed with gold-tone florets. That width is what gives the necklace its structured, almost architectural look.
• A deeper coin row. More coins, hung closer together along the lower edge, so the base reads as a continuous gold border rather than as scattered pendants.
• Emerald against gold. The single most recognisable colour pairing in South Indian temple jewellery, at a saturation that holds up against a heavy silk.
• Traditional presence, wearable weight. A gold kasu haram of this scale would be an endurance test to wear for a full day. This is not.

What to wear this with

This is a silk piece. It belongs on a Kanjeevaram, Dharmavaram, Gadwal or Uppada in red, maroon, mustard, orange, cream or gold-tissue, where emerald-and-gold gives the classic contrast. On a green silk it turns tonal and the coins carry the look.

Because of the scale, it suits the occasions where you are among the principal guests: a wedding in the family, a muhurtham, a reception, Varalakshmi Vratham. For something lighter in the same tradition, our pearl kasu mala is the everyday alternative.

Please note

This is premium imitation (fashion) jewellery. The pearls are pearl beads, the green beads are not emeralds, and the coins are a gold-tone finish rather than gold. We say so plainly because we would rather you buy with a clear picture than be disappointed on delivery.

Caring for it

• Store in an airtight box away from moisture and perfumes, laid flat rather than folded so the strands and coins do not tangle.
• Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each wear, and use a soft dry brush around the coins and the floret settings.
• Jewellery goes on last — after makeup, perfume and hairspray have dried — and comes off first, before bathing, exercise, swimming or sleeping.
• Keep away from perfume, deodorant, creams, water, detergent, household chemicals and prolonged sweat. Do not wash or soak it.
• Finish life varies with wear, climate and storage. We do not promise permanent shine — we give you the steps that genuinely extend it.

Frequently asked questions

What is a kasu mala?
Kasu means coin. A kasu mala is a traditional South Indian coin necklace, historically strung with gold coins bearing the image of Goddess Lakshmi and associated with prosperity. It is one of the oldest and most recognisable forms in South Indian jewellery, worn at weddings, festivals and temple occasions.

How is this different from your other green kasu mala?
This one is fuller. The pearl panels are wider, the coin row along the base is deeper, and the overall piece carries more visual weight. Choose this for the occasions where you are among the principal guests, and the lighter green version for functions where you are simply attending.

What jewellery goes with a Kanjeevaram saree?
Traditional forms rather than contemporary ones. A kasu mala is among the most reliable answers, because the coin motif belongs to the same visual world as the weave, and a multi-strand structure fills the neckline a heavy silk creates.

Is this suitable for a bride?
Yes — for a bride who wants the look of a gold coin haram without the weight, and for sisters and close family at a wedding.

Does this come with earrings?
No. This listing is for the necklace on its own. Message us on WhatsApp if you would like a coordinated earring suggestion.

Are these real emeralds or pearls?
No. These are green beads and pearl beads — premium imitation (fashion) jewellery.

How do I stop a multi-strand necklace from tangling?
Lay it flat in an airtight box rather than folding it into a pouch. With five strands, wide pearl panels and a coin edge, folding is what causes damage.
