Mangalsutras are an integral part of Indian wedding traditions. They symbolise the marital bond between a husband and wife. Senco Gold and Diamonds has unveiled its latest collection of beautifully crafted gold mangalsutra designs for modern Indian brides. Featuring lightweight patterns with delicate dangling pendants, these 22 and 24-karat gold mangalsutras seamlessly blend traditional motifs with contemporary styling.
The new designs offer brides diverse options to find the perfect gold mangalsutra that reflects their style and personality on their special day. With intricate detailing and customisable lengths, Senco's new gold mangalsutra collection has something for every bride.
The mangalsutra has a long history in Indian culture, dating back to the 5th-6th century CE in South India. Back then, the mangalsutra was a simple yellow thread tied around the bride's wrist rather than her neck during wedding ceremonies. This thread was seen as an auspicious symbol of marriage.
Over time, the yellow thread evolved into gold chains with black beads and pendants. Gold symbolised prosperity, while black beads warded off evil. Styles moved from a single-string design to multi-layered chains, and the length also got shorter for convenience. From simple chains, we now see elaborate diamond and gemstone-embellished short mangalsutra designs.
Today, brands like Senco Gold have introduced collections with lightweight short mangalsutra designs in 22 and 24-carat gold. They blend traditional and contemporary motifs, appealing to those looking for traditional mangalsutras as well as modern mangalsutras. Brides can find diverse options in short and long mangalsutras designs to match their style and personality. Prices start from affordable to premium gold mangalsutras and diamond mangalsutras, which cost lakhs based on intricacy and gemstones used.
1. Short Manglasutra Designs in Gold
Short mangalsutra designs are optimal for convenience and comfort. Crafted with just 1-3 delicate gold chains measuring between 16 to 18 inches, short mangalsutras gently fall around the neckline without extensive dangling. Their lightweight construction featuring minimalist pendants and motiffs makes them apt for regular wear. Brides who lead active lifestyles prefer these fuss-free short gold mangalsutra pieces.
2. Long Manglasutra Designs in Gold
Unlike short mangalsutras, long designs extend almost to the bride's chest. These regal designs feature intricate embellishments consisting of 5 or more intertwined chains. Paisley motifs, elaborate gemstones, and diamond settings adorn these ornamental lowers. From traditional goddess pendants to contemporary abstract drops, options are diverse. For grand wedding celebrations, many Indian brides still prefer these ornate long gold mangalsutra pieces.
Mangalsutras range from lower-priced options starting approx. ₹34,000 to premium designer pieces going up to ₹4 lakh and more. There are affordable and high-end choices. All prices mentioned are as per the gold rates at the time of writing. Please check the product pages for latest prices.
