This oxidised cuff kada is sold as a single piece and carries no stones whatsoever. The entire band is filigree: rows of fine silver scrollwork running the length of the cuff, bordered top and bottom by a lattice edge, with a raised line of silver beads down the centre. It is the purest metalwork piece in this range, and the only one where the craft has nowhere to hide behind colour.
Filigree is made from drawn silver wire twisted and coiled into shapes, then soldered into a frame, and the test of it is whether the curls are even and the joins invisible. Here the pattern runs in four parallel bands: a lattice border along each edge, then a row of tight spirals, and down the middle a line of solid silver beads that lifts the flat filigree into three dimensions. The cuff is broad and gently curved to follow the wrist, and it closes with a hinge and clasp rather than simply springing open, which is what allows it to be this wide and still go on comfortably. The oxidised finish pools darkly inside every curl, and it is that contrast that makes the pattern visible at all.
With no colour in it, this goes with everything, and its width means it reads as a statement without shouting. It is at its best against plain khadi, handloom cotton or linen in any colour, and with a sleeveless or short sleeve so the whole cuff is visible. Wear it alone; filigree beside a stone bangle simply looks like the poor relation. Oxidised studs or small jhumkas finish it.
Festivals, exhibitions and craft fairs, handloom and khadi dressing, performances, and gifting to someone who values silverwork over stones.
This design is adjustable rather than fixed: it opens on a screw so the same piece fits a range of wrists, which is why no size needs to be chosen at checkout. Open it only as far as the hand needs and close it gently, because repeatedly forcing an adjustable bangle wider is what eventually weakens the joint.
If you are unsure whether it will suit a particularly slim or broad wrist, ask us on WhatsApp before ordering and we will check the opening range for you.
Filigree is fine wire and will deform if the cuff is squeezed, so open and close it at the hinge rather than pressing on the band. Clean with a dry soft brush, which reaches inside the curls where a cloth cannot, and never use metal polish, which strips the oxidised darkening that makes the pattern legible. Store it alone in a soft pouch.
