A kasumala at the collarbone, a temple jhimki at the ear, jasmine in the hair — the same grammar a Palakkad family has brought to this counter for four generations. Come and see how it sits.
01Our storyA house of gold,
A house of gold,
four generations deep.
In Palakkad, certain things are passed down without ceremony. A grandmother’s thali. The first bangle slipped onto a newborn’s wrist on her twenty-eighth day. The velvet pouch a family carries to the same shop, year after year, to be reset for the next bride.
We have been that shop since 1955 — the same family, on the same road, though the wood and the light around us have been renewed more than once since the founder set down his first counter. Seventy-one years on, the promise has not been revised: the gold you receive from this shop will be the gold we said it was.

Four kinds of Kerala gold.
Not a catalogue. Four traditions, each on its own bench, each carrying a name in Malayalam before it carries a price.
Deity-inspired
Templeക്ഷേത്ര ആഭരണം
Lakshmi, Nagapadam, and the deity-inspired pieces that have anchored Kerala's sacred wear for centuries.

Every morning
Daily Wearനിത്യോപയോഗം
Lightweight gold for every morning. Chains, studs, modest pieces — comfortable enough to forget, beautiful enough to remember.

Stone-set, certified
Diamondവജ്രം
Diamond, polki, and modern fusion — every stone certified, every setting hand-crafted at the Ramachandran bench.
See the diamond pieces → Also at the counter · വെള്ളിയും രത്നവും
Two more trays a Palakkad family reaches for — the everyday silver, and the stone chosen for the person who will wear it.
Silver വെള്ളി
Nilavilakku and pooja articles, coins for the naming day, and a child’s first kolusu — the everyday silver a Kerala home keeps reaching for, hallmarked the same as our gold.

Birthstone ജന്മരത്നം
Navaratna and single-stone rings, chosen by birth month or star and set in gold at our own bench — the one piece made for a person, not an occasion.

Gold is meant to be
worn — not watched
through glass.
A kasumala only truly speaks once it is on — the weight at the collarbone, a temple jhumka catching the shop’s warm light, a stone ring on the hand that reaches for it. Come try the collections the way you would on a muhurtam morning; there is no obligation, and always tea.

Names you’ve heard.
Stories you haven’t.
Kasumala. Palakka. Nagapadam. Twelve ornaments that carry Kerala’s weddings, its myths, and its mothers — each one explained, the way we’d explain it across the counter.

Seven decades.
Hundreds of brides.
One family of gold.
Some from our archives, some from this morning. The daughters of the brides we dressed are now bringing their own daughters. That is the whole of it — the gold that knows your family by name.

A relationship.
With my very first salary, I wanted to gift my mother something special. I chose a beautiful gold chain from Balakrishna Jewellery near Stadium, Palakkad. The staff helped me find the perfect design within my budget, and seeing my mother's smile made it unforgettable.
Real families, from Palakkad and around — Ottapalam, Chittur, Mannarkkad, Alathur, Thrissur — in their own words, shared with their consent.
Why we still hand-stampTwo marks on
Two marks on
every piece.
The first is the BIS Hallmark — the six-digit HUID, the purity grade, the assaying code. The second is ours: a small Balakrishna mark, struck by hand beside the BIS by the karigar who finished the piece.
The BIS mark says the gold is 916. Ours says we made it, we stand behind it, and we will know it as our own the next time you bring it through our door.
