How long will delivery take?
Every order is dispatched within 2–4 business days. After that the courier takes 2–4 days within Mumbai, 3–5 days across Maharashtra and 5–8 days to the rest of India. Delivery is free anywhere in India, and the delivery checker on this page gives the date for your PIN code.
What is the return policy?
Because jewellery is worn against the skin, we do not accept returns or exchanges for change of mind - every piece is inspected and sealed before dispatch, so nothing you receive has been worn by anyone else. If it arrives damaged or with a manufacturing defect, message us within 3 days of delivery: with a continuous, unedited unboxing video for transit damage, or clear photos for a manufacturing defect, and we will repair or replace it free. If a repair or replacement is not possible, the refund goes back to your original payment method within 7–10 business days. You can cancel any order before it is dispatched.
Is this real gold?
No, and we would rather say so plainly. This is imitation jewellery - a Zamak zinc-alloy body, precision-cast and antique gold-plated, with the stones hand-set. Made to look like the real thing at a fraction of the price. It carries no hallmark and is not sold as precious metal.
Will the colour come off?
Not with reasonable care. The finish lasts longest if you put the choker on last - after perfume, hairspray and moisturiser - take it off before bathing, swimming or sleeping, and keep it in a dry pouch away from other metal.
Is cash on delivery available?
On most pin codes, yes. The checkout checks your pin code against the courier network and tells you before you pay, so you will know either way before you commit to the order. Cash on Delivery carries a handling fee, shown at checkout before you confirm; paying online has no extra charge.

Styling the Peacock Lakshmi temple choker
By Dayasingh Chauhan, Saubhagya Jewellery · Updated
Goddess Lakshmi sits at the centre, flanked by facing peacocks and floral medallions set with ruby-red and emerald-green stones, and seven green oval bead drops hang along the lower edge. A choker haar that sits close at the throat.

The choker in temple jewellery
The choker, addigai in Tamil, is the piece worn closest to the throat in a South Indian bridal set. It frames the face and fills the neckline of a blouse, which is why it is traditionally paired with a long haram below.
What to wear it with
The green drops love a red, maroon or mustard silk. The flat mesh band adjusts through a drawstring, so it sits close on any neck size. Add a pair of South Indian jhumkas and the look is complete.
When it works best
Weddings, Varalakshmi Vratam, festival days and classical dance performances, where temple jewellery is part of the costume. At 30 grams it is light enough to forget you are wearing it.
