Silver Necklace

What are silver necklaces?

Silver necklaces are necklaces made from silver metal and worn as everyday, festive, or statement jewellery. At MOHA, every necklace is crafted from certified 92.5 sterling silver, which contains 92.5% pure silver and is durable enough for regular wear.

The collection includes chain-and-pendant necklaces, chokers, traditional Maharashtrian haars, oxidised silver necklaces, and statement pieces inspired by Indian heritage, folk art, architecture, and cultural traditions.

Founded in 2014 by Geetanjali Gondhale, MOHA combines over 10+ years of design experience with extensive research into Indian jewellery craftsmanship. Every necklace is handcrafted in certified 92.5 sterling silver and designed to blend traditional artistry with contemporary wearability.

Today, MOHA serves customers across India and internationally and has built a community of more than 176,000 followers who appreciate meaningful, handcrafted sterling silver jewellery.

What makes 925 sterling silver necklaces a popular choice for women?

• Safe on skin - 925 silver is nickel-free, so it suits sensitive skin and rarely causes irritation.
• Comfortable to wear - most pieces are balanced to sit well and stay comfortable through a full day or an event.
• Goes with everything - silver sits well against most outfit colours, ethnic or western.
• Real metal, fair price - it costs less than gold but is solid silver, not plating that wears off.
• Lasts for years - with a wipe and dry storage, sterling silver keeps its finish for a long time.

What types of silver necklaces are available in this collection?

This collection covers the main styles. Each can be filtered on the collection page:

• Chain & pendant - a fine silver chain with a single motif, easy for daily and office wear - like the Shuk Sarika pendant with chain.
• Choker necklaces - shorter pieces that sit high on the neck, good for a defined, modern look.
• Statement necklaces & haars - longer, detailed pieces with presence, made to stand out - like the Tandul Mani Silver Haar, Dwarpal, Chittor and Morini.
• Oxidised silver necklaces - a darker, antique finish for a rustic, traditional feel.
• Traditional Maharashtrian haars - heritage neckpieces such as the Kolhapur Saaj, Bakuli Haar and Tandul Mani, part of our timeless Maharashtrian jewellery, for festive and bridal looks.

How to Maintain and Care for Your 92.5 Sterling Silver Necklaces

We all love that bright, elegant glow of a new silver necklace. But because 925 silver is a natural metal, it likes to react with the air and moisture around it, which can lead to that "blackish" look we call tarnishing. Don't worry, though - keeping it shiny is easier than you think!

• Last On, First Off: Put your necklace on after perfume and lotion. Take it off first when you get home.
• Keep It Dry: Remove before showering, swimming, or working out. Sweat and chlorine cause tarnishing.
• Store Airtight: Pop it in a zip-lock bag or closed jewellery box when not wearing. Less air = less tarnish.
• Hang or Lay Flat: Store longer chains and haars flat or hung so they don't knot or kink, and fasten the clasp before storing.
• Silica Gel Hack: Drop a silica gel packet (from shoe boxes) into your jewellery box to absorb moisture.
• Gentle Wipe Only: Use a soft microfiber cloth to restore shine. Skip tissues - they can scratch the surface.

Are these silver necklaces made from authentic 925 sterling silver?

Yes. Every necklace in this collection is 92.5 sterling silver and BIS-hallmarked. The hallmark is a stamp that confirms the metal has been tested for purity, and "925" means 92.5% of the metal is pure silver. Gold-look pieces are gold plating over a sterling silver base, not imitation metal.

We do not sell silver-plated or imitation necklaces here. If you ever want to check a piece yourself, look for the hallmark stamp.

Designed with Indian Heritage and Contemporary Style

MOHA's silver necklaces are inspired by India's artistic and cultural heritage while remaining versatile enough for modern lifestyles. From everyday chain-and-pendant necklaces to statement silver haars, chokers, oxidised necklaces, and traditional Maharashtrian jewellery, every design is created to complement both Indian and Western wardrobes.

Many collections draw inspiration from historical motifs, architecture, folk traditions, sacred symbols, nature, and regional jewellery forms. This combination of heritage craftsmanship and contemporary design creates silver necklaces that feel timeless rather than trend-driven.

How We Design Silver Necklaces

Every MOHA necklace begins with research into traditional Indian jewellery forms, historical references, folk art, architecture, and cultural symbolism. Designs are then adapted for modern wear while preserving the essence of the original inspiration.

This design process helps create authentic sterling silver necklaces that celebrate craftsmanship, storytelling, and everyday elegance.
