Neck Ornaments
- Necklaces are a mark of royalty and have been an integral part of Indian jewellery since the ancient time of maharajas in India. Indian necklaces are of different kinds, such as the gold Galobandh (a small choker neckpiece) or the longer pearl rani haar necklace. Since ancient times, necklaces, pendants, strings of beads and elaborate ornamental collars are bejewelled by both men and women for purposes of adornment and social status.

Mangalsutra
- Mangala sutram literally means "an auspicious thread" which is knotted around the bride's neck. It is usually a necklace with black beads strung from a black or yellow thread prepared with turmeric. Sometimes gold, white or red beads are also added to the mangala sutram, depending on regional variation. It is a symbol of marriage worn by women. Mangala sutra's origin dates back to the 6th Century AD as a single yellow thread was tied around the bride for protection from other men and evil spirits. Mangala sutra is a social practice widespread in India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal.

Gulbandh
- Gulbandh is also known as a princess necklace with width ranging from a thin string of gold to a broad design till the collar bone. HOW TO WEAR GULBANDH For the Rani haar, one should see that the length is long enough so that the pendant part sits on the bust or lower. Galobandh is a close fitted necklace (like choker) and should be worn firmly around the neck. Gulbandh sits ideally below the collarbone, the perfect flattering length.
