The antique haram is a long chain designed with traditional motifs and detailed patterns, often inspired by cultural and religious themes. It is usually crafted with repeating elements such as coins, floral designs, or deity figures along the length of the chain.

The haram is made to be worn for weddings, temple functions, and family occasions, often layered with shorter necklaces for a complete look. It can also be paired with earrings, bangles, and a vaddanam to create a full traditional set. The antique haram is valued for its cultural significance and use in special events.
