925 Silver Oxidised Ganesha Rakhi for Brother | Hallmark Stamped Antique Finish
Shri Ganeshaya Namah. Some rakhis are delicate — this one carries weight, the weight of tradition. The NJELS Oxidised Ganesha Rakhi is crafted in 925 Hallmark Stamped Silver, finished in a deep antique oxidised tone and set within a detailed diamond-cut frame that gives Lord Ganesha's form a temple-carving quality rather than a flat, modern charm look.
Where our mirror-polish Ganesha OM rakhi leans bright and contemporary, this piece leans into the older, more traditional aesthetic of Indian silver temple jewellery — dark oxidised tones, intricate framing, and a heavier visual presence on the wrist. Lord Ganesha is invoked before any important beginning in Hindu tradition, believed to clear obstacles and bring good fortune, making this rakhi a meaningful choice to open the Raksha Bandhan season with a blessing for a smooth year ahead.
This design suits sisters looking for a rakhi with genuine old-world craftsmanship rather than a sleek, minimal look — it reads as heirloom-style jewellery rather than disposable festival decoration, and is built to be kept and worn long after the thread itself is retired. The antique look here is a controlled surface oxidisation applied to the outer layer of the silver — not a coating from a different metal, and not something baked into the metal itself — giving it a genuine temple-jewellery patina that can be gently reapplied if it lightens with years of wear. As with our other devotional pieces, it comes on a traditional maroon thread with a roli-chawal set included for the full tying ritual.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this rakhi made of genuine 925 silver, and is it hallmarked?
Yes — the Ganesha charm is 925 Sterling Silver, hallmark stamped for certified purity.
How is this different from your mirror-polish Ganesha OM rakhi?
This one has a darker, oxidised antique finish with a detailed diamond-cut frame, versus the brighter, more contemporary mirror-polish design.
Is the oxidised finish inside the metal, and will it fade over time?
No — the oxidised tone is a surface layer applied to the outer silver, not something inside the metal; it holds up well with normal care, though like any surface oxidisation it can gradually lighten with heavy daily wear and can be re-applied if needed.
Does this rakhi include roli-chawal for the tying ceremony?
Yes — a roli-chawal set is included, ready for the full traditional ritual.
Can this be worn as jewellery after Raksha Bandhan?
Yes — the charm can be removed from the thread and worn as a pendant, and its detailed antique styling holds up well as standalone jewellery.
