Key Characteristics
- Design: The authentic paunchi typically consists of pure gold beads (sometimes referred to as pearls or grains) strung together. The design often involves multiple rows of these beads.
- Base Material: The gold beads are traditionally set on a base of red-colored shaneel (velvet or silk fabric). The color red is considered propitious for married women in the culture.
- Adjustability: The bracelet is designed to be easily adjustable to the wrist size, often using a thread or an adjustable strap.
- Significance: It is an integral part of traditional attire, especially during festivals, weddings, and important family functions, and is often passed down as a family heirloom.
Due to the high cost of gold, artificial, gold-plated versions with similar traditional designs are also widely available in the market.
