Traditional Chandan Haar

A traditional Chandan Haar is a type of necklace, commonly worn during religious ceremonies or festive occasions, especially in Indian culture. The design of a Chandan Haar typically features elements like beads, flowers, or motifs that resemble sandalwood, symbolizing purity and sanctity. When it is crafted in 18kt gold plating, it provides the look of gold at a more affordable price while maintaining the rich aesthetic of traditional jewelry.

An 18kt gold-plated Chandan Haar would typically have:

1. Base Material: The base metal can be brass, copper, or another alloy, coated with a layer of 18kt gold. This gold-plating gives it a luxurious finish without the full cost of solid gold.
2. Design Elements: The Chandan Haar often features intricate patterns such as floral motifs, geometric shapes, or even traditional symbols like peacocks or leaves. It may have beads, gemstones, or enamel work, depending on the style.
3. Length and Shape: The necklace can vary in length, from shorter chokers to longer pieces that drape over the chest. It’s typically made with a series of chain links that make it flexible and comfortable to wear.
4. Traditional Appeal: It can include additional adornments like small pendants or tassels, giving it a more ornate, festive look.
