Necklaces may have been one of the earliest types of adornment worn by humans. They are available in varying sizes. Necklaces are meant to be worn around the neck. But off late, the designs of hara and other jewellery like armlet and vaddanam have similarities, hence they are used for both purposes. Short necklaces , also known as chokers can also be used as armlets or bajuband. They serve as 2 in 1 choker cum armlet. Similarly long necklaces, also known as hara or haram can be used as vaddanam or waist belt, thereby serving as 2 in 1 haram cum vaddanam.
