Thali necklace

Thali necklace

A Thali necklace is a necklace that is given in India by the groom's family to the bride, usually in place of a wedding ring. Some thalis have a unique design engraved on the center amulet, but sometimes the groom's family will request the jeweler to engrave a family design: one that has been created by an ancestor and has been used by each subsequent generation. The thali is worn more frequently by Southern Indian women than Northern Indian women.
