What is a Rani Haar, and what else is it called?
“Rani” means queen and “haar” means necklace. A Rani Haar is a long, usually multi-layered necklace that falls below the chest, worn with sarees, lehengas and bridal outfits. In the south it is commonly called a haram or haaram. A gold plated Rani Haar is one made on a base metal with a thin layer of gold; shoppers also search for it as a one gram gold Rani Haar, one gram gold haram or imitation long necklace. None is solid gold. Tanishka Jewels sells micro gold-plated (imitation) jewellery, not real gold: multi-layer plating, 2–3 microns thick, over a nickel-free copper-alloy base.
| Name you may see | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| Gold plated Rani Haar | A thin layer of gold electroplated over a base metal. The most direct name. |
| One gram gold / 1 gram gold / gram gold Rani Haar | Retail name for gold-plated pieces. “1 gram” is not the weight of the piece; it loosely refers to the small amount of gold used in plating (World Gold Council; BlueStone). |
| Gold covering / gold forming Rani Haar | Trade names some sellers use for gold-finished pieces. Meanings vary by seller, so ask what the finish is and how thick. |
| Micro gold plated Rani Haar | Plating measured in microns (millionths of a metre). Tanishka Jewels states 2–3 microns, multi-layer. |
| Imitation / artificial Rani Haar | Umbrella terms for jewellery that is not solid gold; customs classes it as imitation jewellery of base metal, plated or not (HSN code 7117 (“imitation jewellery”)). |
| Haram / haaram / long haram | The usual south Indian name for a long necklace; the design and the number of strands vary. |

How do you look after a gold plated Rani Haar?
Long necklaces catch on dupattas, hair and bangles, and they tangle in storage.
- Step 1: put it on last, after perfume and powder.
- Step 2: lift it off over your head slowly; do not drag it over hair or a dupatta.
- Step 3: wipe it with a soft dry cloth.
- Step 4: lay it flat in a pouch or box, or hang it, so strands do not twist.
