18K Gold Plated Kerala Palakka Necklace with Green Stone - ZG1012491

18K Gold Plated Kerala Palakka Necklace with Green Stone

Few jewellery pieces carry the soul of Kerala as completely as the Palakka Necklace. Named after the Malayalam word for a broad, flat leaf, the Palakka is a cornerstone of Kerala's temple jewellery canon  worn by classical dancers, temple deities, and brides alike for centuries. Zilmor's interpretation features lustrous round green cabochon stones set in gold-framed bezels, linked by a fine 18CT gold-polished mesh chain with delicate Kemp ruby accents between each stone, creating a necklace that is unmistakably, beautifully Kerala.

Why This Palakka Necklace Is Special

• Classic round Palakka design — 13 deep green cabochon stones in gold bezels, the traditional count for a full Palakka necklace
• Kemp ruby accent beads between each stone — the signature red-and-green colour palette of authentic Kerala temple jewellery
• 18K gold plating with 1-year colour warranty — 18CT gold polished finish that stays radiant through every occasion
• Mesh chain base with adjustable extension — flexible, comfortable, and fits neck sizes 14" to 18"
• Lightweight  — comfortable for full-day bridal and festive wear

The Palakka — Kerala's Most Beloved Necklace

The Palakka necklace is not merely an ornament  it is a cultural statement. For the Kerala bride completing her Kasavu saree look at a Nair, Ezhava, or Syrian Christian wedding, the Mohiniyattam or Bharatanatyam dancer adorning herself for a classical performance, or the devotee offering prayers at Guruvayur, Padmanabhaswamy, or Attukal Bhagavathy temple the Palakka necklace is an act of devotion as much as adornment.

For the Malayali diaspora in the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah), UK (London, Birmingham, Leicester), USA (New Jersey, Houston, California, Chicago, Dallas), and Canada (Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vancouver) — this necklace is the piece you wear to feel Kerala in every celebration: Onam sadya, Vishu, Thiruvathira, temple festivals, and family weddings far from home.
