Just like any other jewelry, mangalsutra has also become a fashion jewelry item. The use of mangalsutra has been there since times immemorial, but recently it has been revolutionized in an entirely different way. You must have seen many of the modern women who did not like to wear the mangalsutras when going for a party or outing as they failed to pair well with the western outfits. Usually, the mangalsutras were made using black beads with just a simple or no design at all. Gold was preferably used as it was known to be the only precious metal and perfect for creating wedding jewelry.
