At KundanMala, we pride ourselves on curating timeless pieces that resonate with Indian heritage and modern finesse. One such example is our silver panchlada sets, now reimagined with diamond elements for brides and jewellery lovers who value both tradition and sparkle. These multi-strand masterpieces are more than accessories—they are reflections of status, beauty, and generational pride.

The panchlada, which literally translates to “five strings,” is a layered necklace historically worn by royals and noblewomen in India. Traditionally made with pearls, gemstones, or gold, the silver panchlada sets from KundanMala offer a fresh twist, combining sterling silver with finely embedded diamonds to achieve brilliance with grace.

Whether you’re preparing for your wedding, attending a family function, or adorning yourself during festivals, these sets bring unparalleled charm. With meticulous craftsmanship and BIS-hallmarked silver, every panchlada we create tells a story worth wearing.

A Glimpse into History: Origin of Panchlada Necklaces

The history of panchlada necklaces is as rich as the layers themselves. Worn across Indian princely states, these multi-strand jewels were symbols of opulence. Rajasthan, Punjab, and Gujarat were major regions where panchladas became part of ceremonial attire. Originally made with uncut stones, pearls, and gold beads, these necklaces signified status and lineage.

Today, designers have adapted the format to meet evolving aesthetics. At KundanMala, the reintroduction of silver panchlada sets honours this legacy while embracing modern materials and diamond artistry.

Each layer serves not only a visual purpose but a cultural one, representing prosperity, blessings, and strength in unity. The fifth layer, especially in bridal versions, is often seen as a metaphor for divine protection.

Why Silver and Diamonds Make the Perfect Pair

Silver has long been associated with purity, calmness, and clarity. In contrast to gold, it offers a more understated yet powerful aesthetic, ideal for those who seek subtle luxury. When paired with diamonds, silver takes on a regal glow, giving a contemporary twist to a timeless design.

The brilliance of silver panchlada sets with diamond elements lies in their versatility. These necklaces can elevate a bridal lehenga, complement a silk saree, or add depth to a minimalist gown. The cool undertones of silver work beautifully with pastel hues, ivory, and even bold jewel tones.

Silver is also hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin, making it ideal for prolonged wear during weddings or long celebrations. With proper care, silver lasts a lifetime and develops a beautiful patina that tells your story.

The Making of a Panchlada: Handcrafted Brilliance

Each silver panchlada set at Kundan Mala undergoes a painstaking process from design to delivery. The journey begins with concept sketches, often inspired by Mughal motifs, temple architecture, or floral patterns.

Key Steps in Crafting Our Panchlada Sets:

• Strand Structuring: The five layers are balanced in weight and length for comfort and visual proportion.

• Diamond Setting: Only conflict-free diamonds are used, set with prong, bezel, or pave techniques depending on the design.

• Silver Base Carving: 92.5% sterling silver is hand-polished and carved for maximum strength and lustre.

• Clasp and Finish: All clasps are anti-tarnish and easy to secure, with optional adjustable extensions for different necklines.

The craftsmanship is supported by a dedicated team of artisans who specialise in traditional Indian jewellery techniques, ensuring that each set feels like it belongs in a royal treasury.

Choosing the Right Panchlada for Every Occasion

Whether you’re a bride, bridesmaid, or jewellery enthusiast, silver panchlada sets suit a wide range of occasions. Here’s how you can choose the right one:

For Weddings: Opt for a heavier design with larger diamond clusters. Pair with jhumkas and maang tikka to complete the regal look. The five strands cascade perfectly across bridal blouses and high-necked sarees.

For Festive Wear: Lighter panchladas with minimal diamond settings complement anarkalis or salwar suits. Choose pastel or oxidised finishes for day events like haldi or mehndi.

For Gifting: Ifting a panchlada is like gifting a legacy. Silver versions are more accessible, and with diamond accents, they feel extravagant. These make for memorable wedding or anniversary gifts.

At KundanMala, we even offer customisation—allowing you to inscribe initials, add gemstone clusters, or modify chain lengths.

Styling Tips for Modern Brides

One of the best things about silver panchlada sets is their ability to blend with both traditional and fusion fashion. For example:

• With Lehenga: Pair a full diamond-studded set with a V-neck blouse and pulled-back hair to spotlight the neckline.

• With Saree: Go for a shorter panchlada layered under a choker for an opulent stacked effect.

• With Gown: Wear a minimal silver panchlada as a contrast piece over solid satin or velvet for cocktail events.

Don’t forget to pair them with matching earrings and hand accessories for balance. At KundanMala, we can guide you on full bridal styling for your silver panchlada look.

Care & Maintenance: Keeping Your Set Forever New

Silver, while durable, requires proper care to retain its glow. Our sets come with anti-tarnish polishing cloths and airtight boxes. Here are some quick tips:

• Always store your silver panchlada sets in a dry space.

• Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, or hairsprays.

• Use a gentle silver polish occasionally to maintain shine.

We also provide complimentary polishing services within the first year of purchase. For any repairs or adjustments, our in-house support team is always ready.
