Polki Zircon Mala

The Polki Zircon Mala is a single row of oval polki stones, each one ringed with tiny zircons and set in gold plating. It ties with a gold dori wrapped in small white beads, ending in a tassel of white, ruby and emerald beads. It sits close at the base of the neck and adds a good amount of sparkle without being heavy.

There are about twenty-four oval polki stones in one row, all close to the same size. Each polki sits in a closed gold setting with a ring of small round zircons around it, so every link looks like a tiny halo. The links are joined edge to edge and lie flat on the skin. At each end a small ring connects to a gold dori. The dori near the necklace is wrapped with small white beads and finished with a little enamel bead cap. One end has a tassel of short strands of white beads ending in ruby and emerald drops. The dori lets you choose how close it sits, from choker to collarbone. It is a single necklace, no earrings are shown.

Wear it on a mehndi or dholki night with green, yellow, orange or white outfits, or keep it for Eid with a gota kurta. It also layers well under a longer haar for a nikkah or barat. Polki studs or small jhumkay go well with it.

Each link is made in 925 sterling silver and gold plated. The polki stones are set by hand in closed settings and the small zircons are set around them one by one. The dori and tassel are knotted and attached by hand.

Polki does not like water, so keep the mala dry and away from perfume. Wipe the links gently with a soft dry cloth after wearing. Store it flat in its box with the dori and tassel tucked in. Keep it apart from other pieces so the zircons do not scratch the plating.
