Traditional craftsmanship with an heirloom feel. These sterling silver jhumkas pair an ornate paisley stud with a smooth, softly brushed dome bell, finished with clusters of hand-wired faceted green beads that catch the light and move as you do.
The stud is richly detailed: a raised teardrop at the center, framed by a beaded border and swirling petal motifs. Oxidized recesses bring out the depth of the design. Below it, the dome ends in a scalloped cutout edge, and each bead dangles on its own wire loop for a full, swaying fringe.
They're easy to dress up with a saree or lehenga, and just as easy to wear with a linen dress or a simple kurta.
