Handmade Traditional Mala Collection
Celebrate India's rich jewellery heritage with Kalapuri's Traditional Mala Collection, featuring beautifully handcrafted necklaces inspired by the timeless traditions of Maharashtra. Designed to reflect elegance, culture, and craftsmanship, every mala is created by rural women artisans from Kolhapur, keeping centuries-old jewellery-making techniques alive.
Traditional malas are known for their graceful long silhouettes, handcrafted gold-toned beads, intricate pendants, and heritage-inspired motifs. Whether worn alone or layered with a Kolhapuri Thushi, Saaj, or Chandrahaar, these necklaces add regal charm to every traditional outfit.
Many of the artisans who create these malas are members and shareholders of Kalagrami Handicraft Producer Co. Ltd., a women-led artisan producer company dedicated to preserving traditional jewellery craftsmanship while creating sustainable livelihoods for rural communities.
From weddings and festive celebrations to religious ceremonies and cultural occasions, our handcrafted malas beautifully complement Paithani sarees, Nauvari sarees, silk sarees, lehengas, and ethnic ensembles, making them treasured additions to every jewellery collection.

Questions, answered
What is the jewellery made of?
We use durable, skin-friendly non-precious metals, plated with gold for a traditional look. Our pieces feature high-quality artificial stones, beads and faux pearls. The exact materials are listed under Details for each piece.
Is it skin-friendly?
Our jewellery is crafted using materials that are generally skin-friendly. If you are extremely sensitive to certain metals, please check the material information for the piece before ordering.
Where is it made?
Our jewellery is crafted by skilled artisans who recreate the intricate designs of traditional Maharashtrian jewellery. The base materials differ from precious metals, but the artistry and attention to detail remain central to how each piece is made.
How do I keep it looking new?
Avoid contact with water, perfumes and harsh chemicals. Store it in a dry, separate box or pouch to prevent scratches and tangling, and wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth after each use.
Can I return it?
Yes. Request a return within 7 days of delivery, with the piece unused, tags on and in its original packaging. Change-of-mind returns are refunded as store credit, valid for 6 months. If the fault is ours, we refund to your original payment method. You ship the item back; we reimburse shipping only when the fault is ours.
When will my order arrive?
Orders are dispatched within 1–2 working days and typically delivered within 3–7 working days across India. Shipping is free in India, and we share a tracking link once your order is dispatched.
