How to Say "Necklace" in Urdu

ہار

hār/ɦɑːɾ/

The English word necklace is ہار (hār) in Urdu.

ہار refers to a piece of jewelry worn around the neck. It is important to note that this word is also used to describe a garland of flowers.

Meaning: jewelry (noun)

Which one should you use?

While ہار can mean both a necklace and a garland, the term گلوبند is used in formal settings to describe a necklace.

When used with postpositions, the plural form of ہار is ہاروں.

/ɦɑːɾ/

The word ہار strangely shares the same spelling and pronunciation as the Urdu word for 'defeat' or 'loss'.
In many South Asian cultures, a 'garland' of flowers used as a ہار is often given to guests or at weddings, making the word a symbol of hospitality.
If you are reading classical Urdu poetry, a poet might use ہار to describe a 'necklace of words' or a 'garland of verses' to describe beautiful literature.
