This oxidised kada is sold as a single piece and puts one square head at the front of an otherwise bare wire. Inside the square, red teardrop stones and clear round stones alternate around a larger red cabochon at the centre, so the head reads as a small medallion rather than a flower. Red on oxidised silver is the most traditional colour pairing in Indian tribal jewellery, and here it is used at a small enough scale to wear on an ordinary day.
The head is built as a diamond standing on one corner, with the red teardrops set at the four points and clear stones filling the spaces between them, all inside a beaded silver frame. The centre stone is a domed red cabochon, smooth where the surrounding stones are faceted, which gives the middle of the medallion weight and stops it looking scattered. Behind the head, the shank is wrapped in a coil of fine wire and marked with a small stamped motif, then runs out plain to a domed tip at the far end. The asymmetry is deliberate: one decorated end, one bare, which is a common construction in adjustable tribal kadas.
Red and silver is the traditional combination and it belongs with cotton, khadi and handloom rather than silk. It looks especially good against black, white, indigo and mustard, where the red has something to push against. The head sits on one side of the wrist rather than centred, so wear it turned to where you want the detail. It stacks well with plain silver bangles.
Everyday and casual wear, college, festivals and daytime functions, handloom and craft-fair dressing, and gifting to someone who wears oxidised silver regularly.
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.
Open the kada only as far as your hand needs, since the shank is fine and a thin wire fatigues if sprung wide repeatedly. Wipe it with a dry soft cloth, going around the stones rather than across them, keep it away from water, perfume and sanitiser, and never use metal polish on the oxidised finish.
