KANAKAVALLI

There’s a certain poetry in jewels that whisper of the past. The Attigai, one of South India’s most cherished traditional neckpieces, traces its origin back to the Chola and Pandya dynasties.

It was once crafted in pure gold and worn close to the neck by queens and temple dancers alike — a symbol of both devotion and distinction.

In its earliest form, the Attigai adorned the divine — the goddess idols of Tamil Nadu’s ancient temples — before becoming an heirloom passed down through generations of women. Its signature design — snug around the neck with graceful drops or floral motifs — has remained timeless, evolving with the wearer but never losing its regal essence.

This modern recreation pays homage to that legacy.
Studded with white and pink stones, this Attigai strikes a perfect balance between softness and opulence. The pink stones lend a feminine warmth, while the white ones glint like moonlight on temple gopurams.

The piece sits elegantly close to the collarbone — versatile enough to complement bridal Kanjivarams, festive silks, or even minimalist cottons. A celebration of Tamil craftsmanship, it captures the spirit of the Attigai — rooted, radiant, and royally understated.
