Akka Talisman Locket Necklace with Bead
Thayathu I Talisman Motif
The Thayathu motif draws its inspiration from the talismanic lockets worn for protection - pieces believed to guard the wearer and carry blessings close to the heart. This reimagined version retains that sense of safeguarding but layers it with personal nostalgia.
The outer form of the Akka Talisman Locket Necklace with Bead is textured to echo the braided coconut leaf plaits of our childhood - the same patterns we wove during long afternoons, fingers moving in rhythm, laughter and stories flowing around us.
Inside, the pendant opens to reveal a removable manjadi kuru style bead - the glossy red seed beloved across Kerala, treasured for its vibrant colour and its connection to home.
Suspended on a simple gold plated chain, this necklace is more than adornment; it’s a keepsake of protection, play, and place - a quiet link to the textures and rituals that shaped us.
