Jomale is one of those essential Coorg jewellery that every Coorg/Kodava bride must possess. Usually women buy these jewellery at the time of their wedding but even otherwise every Kodavathi would have a Jomale sara in her collection.
Jomale is a long chain which is about 71 cms. It is made of gold beads. These gold beads are hollow and are filled with lac. Traditionally, these Jomale beads are strung on a thick black thread or even sometimes this connecting cord is made of small black beads. Now with the changing fashion trend even the color of the connecting cord has changed. You might find it in orange colour or even golden strings are used in Jomale necklace. You can even get matching earrings for your Jomale sara.
Jomale is a long beaded necklace so mostly it worn with another small necklace. Something like a junior choker or a smaller chain with a pendant. However, if you want you can pair up jomale alone with one of your beautiful silk cotton saris for small occasions or festivals.
If worn with a junior choker, the earrings of the choker can be worn. But if you are wearing Jomale alone you will have to match it up with either some golden jhumkis or you can get a similar golden bead earring made, with 1,2 or 3 golden beads hung in a single string or different lengthed gold strings.
