Bestseller Festive Kundan Jhumkas

A festive Kundan jhumka, and one of our steadiest sellers. The jhumka is the bell-shaped earring at the heart of traditional Indian jewellery — a domed lower body that swings from a fixed top, so it catches light with every turn of the head.

This pair is handcrafted in Sirini's own Mumbai workshop. The stones are hand-set in the Kundan technique, with foil worked in behind each one so it reads as a flat field of light rather than faceted sparkle, and the reverse is finished rather than left raw.

Details

• Materials: 18–22K gold plating over a brass base, hand-set Kundan stones — crafted as fine fashion jewellery, not fine/solid gold jewellery
• Made in: Sirini's workshop, Santacruz West, Mumbai
• Best for: weddings, sangeet, Diwali and Navratri, festive family occasions

How to wear it

Jhumkas of this weight pair best with a choker or a mid-length necklace rather than a long rani haar — two heavy pieces at similar heights compete around the face. If you are wearing them for several hours, a kaan chain hooked into the hair takes the weight off the lobe.

Care

The jhumka is a domed, swinging earring, so keep this Kundan pair away from water, perfume and sweat, which can dull the foil behind the stones. Put them on last, take them off first and wipe with a dry soft cloth. Store the pair in a pouch away from other pieces, with each jhumka lying separate.
