925 Sterling Silver — The Paksha Range

104 pieces, sorted cheapest first, running from $34.99 to $968. Read the sort order as the guide to this page, because the range is really two ranges wearing one name.

The first eighty-five are mangalsutras, $34.99 to $339.99 with a median of $74.99. This is the everyday tier — black-bead chains, CZ pendants, the pieces a woman actually wears on a Tuesday. Thirteen come in under $50 and forty-one more sit between $50 and $99, so most of this page is reachable on an ordinary budget.

The last nineteen are statement pieces and the prices change character entirely: earrings median $598, necklaces $844, bangles $810. These are occasion jewellery — the jadau chandbalis and kempu sets you buy for a wedding and keep.

If you arrived expecting a $40 jhumka, the statement tier will look steep. That is the price of real sterling rather than plated alloy, and it is why the mangalsutra tier exists on the same page: it is the same silver at a quarter the spend.

What you are actually buying: 925 sterling silver handcrafted in Chennai, stones individually set rather than cast. The settings split three ways — moissanite (lab-grown, reads like diamond under light), kempu (the red temple-jewellery stone, unmistakably South Indian) and jadau (uncut stones pressed into foil, the technique that makes a piece read as inherited).

Two things to know before you choose:

Within the statement tier, bracelets are the accessible entry. A $243 median against $598 for earrings and $844 for necklaces. If you want one genuine silver statement piece rather than a set, start there.

Paksha does not restock within a season. Pieces are batch-made. When a set sells out it is gone until the following year, which inverts the usual advice — with most partners you wait for a sale, with Paksha you buy when you see it. All 104 are in stock as of 9 October 2026.

Chennai dispatch is 3–5 days plus 4–6 days international transit. No coupon needed — the link tracks the referral.
