Make an unforgettable entrance with this magnificent Kerala Traditional Gold Plated Puli Nakham Long Necklace — one of the most iconic and culturally significant jewellery forms in South Indian heritage. "Puli Nakham" translates to tiger claw in Malayalam, and this striking piece features row upon row of individually crafted crescent-shaped tiger claw motifs, graduating in size from the nape to the chest, all finished in a resplendent warm gold. A timeless bridal essential deeply rooted in Kerala and South Indian tradition, this necklace is as much a classic as it is a statement.

◆Iconic Puli Nakham (Tiger Claw) Design: Each unit of this necklace is modelled after the sacred tiger claw — a motif historically worn as a symbol of strength, protection, and bravery in Kerala and South Indian royal tradition. The engraved, ribbed texture on each claw replicates the look of genuine animal claw jewellery.

◆Premium Gold Plated Finish: Deep warm gold plating over brass faithfully replicates the rich, aged finish of genuine gold — pairing exquisitely with Kasavu sarees, Kerala set mundu, Kanjivaram silk, and traditional bridal attire.

◆Adjustable Chain Closure: The necklace features an extender chain at the back with a secure Fish-hook clasp, allowing for adjustable length and a comfortable, customised fit for all necklines and blouse styles.

◆A Bridal & Cultural Staple: The Puli Nakham necklace is an essential piece in Kerala bridal trousseau and is widely worn at Onam, Thrissur Pooram, temple festivals, Valaikappu (baby shower), and classical dance performances.

◆Pairs Beautifully with Traditional Ensembles: Wear with a Kasavu saree and gold jhumkas for an authentic Kerala bridal look, or style with a silk pattu pavadai for a classical dance costume — equally stunning in both contexts.

◆A Cherished Gift: A deeply meaningful gift for brides, daughters, and loved ones — especially for Kerala weddings, Onam celebrations, and milestone occasions where cultural heritage is celebrated.

    Chain & Necklace Size Chart Guide

    Find your perfect necklace length with our comprehensive chain size guide. Learn how to measure chain length, explore different necklace styles, and choose the right size for your look and occasion.

    How To Measure Chain/Necklace Length

    Method 1: Measure Your Neck

    1. Using a soft measuring tape or string, wrap it around your neck at the base where you want the chain to sit.
    2. Make sure the tape sits comfortably - not too tight.
    3. Mark where the tape or string overlaps.
    4. Measure the length in inches or centimeters.
    5. Add 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) depending on your preferred fit:
      • +2 inches for a snug choker fit
      • +3 inches for a comfortable collar fit
      • +4 inches for a princess/standard fit
    6. Compare your measurement with the chart below.

    Method 2: Measure an Existing Chain

    1. Take a chain that fits you comfortably.
    2. Lay it flat in a straight line.
    3. Use a ruler to measure the total length from clasp to clasp (or end to end).
    4. Match your measurement with the chart below.
    💡 Pro Tips:
    • Consider your neck size and body frame when choosing chain length.
    • Pendant size affects how the chain hangs - add 1-2 inches for larger pendants.
    • Layering multiple chains? Choose lengths 2-4 inches apart for best effect.
    • Face shape matters: longer chains elongate, shorter chains widen appearance.
    • Neckline of clothing affects chain placement - test with your wardrobe.
    • If between sizes, go longer - you can always adjust with extension chains.

    Length (inches) Length (cm) Style Name Where It Falls Best For
    14" 35.6 cm Choker Sits snugly around the base of the neck Evening wear, off-shoulder tops, statement look
    16" 40.6 cm Collar Rests at the collarbone Most versatile, everyday wear, business casual
    18" 45.7 cm Princess Falls just below the collarbone Most popular length, works with most necklines

    22" 55.9 cm Matinee Plus Falls at the bust line Traditional Indian wear, layering, larger pendants
    24" 61 cm Opera Falls below the bust line Dramatic look, evening wear, long pendants

    Note: The most popular chain lengths for women are 16" (Collar) and 18" (Princess) - perfect for everyday wear and most versatile.

    Men's Chain Length Chart

    Men's chains typically run longer than women's chains and are measured differently due to neck size and styling preferences.

    Length (inches) Length (cm) Style Name Where It Falls Best For
    18" 45.7 cm Collar Sits at the base of the neck Slim build, close-fitting style, teenagers
    20" 50.8 cm Standard Rests at the collarbone Most popular, average build, everyday wear
    22" 55.9 cm Medium Falls just below the collarbone Most versatile, medium to large build
    24" 61 cm Long Sits at or near the chest Large build, pendants, modern style
    26"-30" 66-76 cm Extra Long Falls mid-chest or lower Hip-hop style, layering, statement pieces
    👔 Men's Chain Sizing Tips:
    • Most men wear 20" or 22" chains - these are the most popular and versatile lengths.
    • Consider your neck size: larger necks typically need 22-24" for comfortable fit.
    • Pendant size matters: add 2" for large pendants or religious symbols.
    • Chain thickness affects appearance: thicker chains look better at longer lengths.
    • For layering: choose lengths 2-3" apart (e.g., 20" + 24").
    • Body build: athletic/broad-shouldered men often prefer 22-24" for proportional look.

    Note: Men's chains are measured by total length. For religious pendants or heavy chains, consider going 2 inches longer than your standard size.

    Kids' Chain Length Chart

    Children's chains are shorter and lighter for safety and comfort. Always choose age-appropriate designs with secure clasps.

    Length (inches) Length (cm) Age Group Best For
    12" 30.5 cm Infant - 2 years Baby chains, lightweight pendants, baptism gifts
    14" 35.6 cm 2 - 5 years Toddler chains, small pendants, adjustable designs
    16" 40.6 cm 5 - 10 years Children's standard length, everyday wear
    18" 45.7 cm 10 - 14 years Pre-teen/teen length, transitioning to adult sizes
    👶 Kids' Chain Safety Tips:
    • Safety first: Choose chains with breakaway clasps for babies and toddlers.
    • Avoid chains longer than 14" for children under 5 years - choking hazard.
    • Lightweight materials only - heavy chains can cause neck strain.
    • Secure clasps are essential - check regularly for wear and tear.
    • Adjustable chains with extension allow room for growth.
    • Supervise young children wearing jewelry at all times.
    • Remove chains during sleep, play, or sports activities.

    Note: Always prioritize safety for children's jewelry. Choose age-appropriate lengths and secure, child-safe clasps. Never leave young children unsupervised while wearing chains.

    Chain Style Guide by Neckline

    Crew Neck / T-Shirt:
    18"-20" chains work best, sitting just below the neckline without competing with the shirt.
    V-Neck:
    18"-24" chains complement the V-shape. Princess or Matinee lengths fill the neckline beautifully.
    Scoop Neck:
    16"-18" chains (Collar or Princess) sit perfectly within the scoop, creating a balanced look.
    Strapless / Off-Shoulder:
    14"-16" choker or collar lengths draw attention to the neckline and shoulders.
    High Neck / Turtleneck:
    20"-24" longer chains sit outside the neckline. Skip short chains to avoid crowding.
    Button-Down Shirt:
    20"-22" chains for men, 18"-20" for women work well, sitting at the open collar area.
    Traditional Indian Wear (Saree/Salwar):
    20"-24" chains complement traditional necklines. Longer chains work well with deep blouse necks.

    Layering Chain Lengths

    Create stunning layered looks by combining multiple chain lengths. Here are popular combinations:

    Classic 3-Layer Look:
    • 16" (Collar) + 18" (Princess) + 20" (Matinee)
    • Each layer visible and distinct
    • Works with most necklines
    Dramatic Long Look:
    • 18" (Princess) + 24" (Opera) + 30" (Rope)
    • Creates visual length and elongates figure
    • Perfect for evening wear
    Men's Layered Style:
    • 20" (Standard) + 24" (Long)
    • Subtle layering without overwhelming
    • Mix chain thicknesses for the dimension
