kemp stone manga mala set

This beautiful jewelry set is a classic example of South Indian Temple Jewelry, specifically a style known as a Manga Malai (Mango Garland) or Palakka inspired necklace.
​Key Features
​Mango (Manga) Motifs: The “teardrop” or paisley-shaped elements lining the necklace represent mangoes. In South Indian culture, the mango is a symbol of love, fertility, and prosperity.
​Peacock Pendant: The large circular central pendant features an intricate Peacock (Mayil) motif. The peacock represents grace and beauty and is a common fixture in “Nakshi” or temple-style work.
​Green Stones: The set is heavily studded with green stones, typically referred to as Kemp stones (though traditionally red, green Kemp is very popular) or emerald-colored glass/synthetic stones.
​Jhumkas: The matching earrings are classic Jhumkas (bell-shaped earrings), a staple of traditional Indian attire.
