All Necklaces

Handmade Necklaces for Every Occasion

India's necklace traditions span thousands of years and dozens of regional craft schools, and our handmade necklace collection celebrates that range. From everyday lightweight pieces under ₹500, to statement necklaces for festivals and weddings, every necklace at Khoj.City is handcrafted and handpainted by women artisans — many of whom have inherited their craft across multiple generations.

You'll find Madhubani-painted necklaces with motifs drawn from Mithila folk art, Warli-inspired tribal designs using restrained earth-tone palettes, and Pattachitra-influenced pieces with the intricate detail work that Odisha's scroll-painters are known for. Each design tells a story rooted in a specific Indian craft tradition.

What to Wear Where

For festive occasions, browse our Durga Navaratri necklaces in vibrant reds, yellows, and greens, or our Shaadi Ke Gehne wedding collection for bridal and wedding-guest pieces. For everyday and contemporary styling, our handmade statement jewellery works equally well with kurtas, sarees, denim, and Western workwear.

Looking for matching pieces? Our necklace sets with earrings come as coordinated handpainted ensembles, and our handmade earrings collection has standalone pieces in matching design families.

Why Handmade and Handpainted Matters

Each necklace in this collection is built from lightweight, eco-friendly materials — cardboard, fabric, glass beads, natural pigments — and finished entirely by hand. The benefit is twofold: you get a piece that's comfortable to wear all day (no metal-heavy weight on your neck), and you get something that exists exactly once in the world, because no two hand-painted brushstrokes are identical.

Every order supports a woman artisan and a regional craft tradition. We work directly with artisan groups across Bihar, Maharashtra, Odisha, and Rajasthan, paying fair wages and placing long-term, predictable orders rather than seasonal one-offs.
