18K Gold Plated Kerala Mullamottu Mala Necklace Set

The Mullamottu Mala  named after the Malayalam word for jasmine bud (mulla mottu)  is one of Kerala's most iconic and enduring jewellery traditions. Each tiny gold spike, shaped like an unopened jasmine blossom, is strung along a fine 18CT gold-polished wheat chain, creating a necklace that shimmers with every movement like a garland of living flowers.
