To enjoy a seamless experience while shoppingA genuine BIS hallmarked gold mangalsutra will have the BIS logo, purity mark (750 for 18KT, 916 for 22KT), hallmarking centre's mark, and year stamped on the pendant and/or clasp. All Candere gold mangalsutras are BIS hallmarked and the hallmark is noted on your purchase certificate, which can be used for insurance and exchange purposes.
Black beads (also called black glass beads or "kali moti") in a mangalsutra are believed to have protective powers, warding off evil eye (buri nazar) and negative energy that could harm the marriage. The number of beads and their arrangement varies by regional tradition. Modern mangalsutras may use fewer or token black beads, while traditional designs use full strands.
Yes. Many women buy a mangalsutra chain separately and add a gold or diamond pendant later, either a new Candere pendant or an heirloom piece. Ensure the pendant bail (the loop at the top) is compatible with the chain thickness. Candere's customer support can guide you on pendant and chain compatibility before purchase.
