Choosing a mangalsutra that survives everyday wear

Chain gauge, clasp, and black-bead spacing — the three details that decide whether it survives daily wear.

A mangalsutra is worn every day for decades. Three details decide whether it survives that.

Below 0.35mm the chain will stretch and part within a few years of daily wear. Ask for the gauge, not just the gram weight.

A spring ring fails quietly. A box clasp with a safety catch does not. Insist on the second.

Black beads strung too tightly abrade the gold between them. A little slack is not sloppiness; it is design.
