The Naugedi is one of Nepal’s most iconic traditional necklaces, treasured for its elegance and cultural significance. Its name, meaning "nine beads", comes from the nine large spherical gold beads that form the centrepiece of the design, often strung on multiple layers of vibrant glass beads (Potey).
A symbol of prosperity and prestige, the Naugedi is often gifted to brides or worn during special occasions and festivals.
The Naugedi is not just a necklace – it is a statement of heritage, worn with pride by Nepali women for generations.
