A bugadi with a modern twist. Inspired by the Maharashtrian bugadi worn on the upper ear, each piece has a small bell-shaped dome with three bead accents at the top, a slim straight bar, and an openwork round disc with a flower-of-life pattern that rests on the lobe.
The dome hooks over the upper edge of the ear, and the bar runs down the side of the ear to the disc, so the piece frames the ear from top to bottom. The disc is cut in a lacy pattern of overlapping petals inside a round frame, and the oxidised finish makes the lines crisp and graphic. The pair is very light, about 8 g, which matters for jewellery that rests on the cartilage.
The combination of a traditional bell dome and a geometric disc makes this both ethnic and contemporary. The flower-of-life pattern, a circle of overlapping petals, is an ancient motif that suits oxidised silver beautifully. Because the piece follows the curve of the ear, it looks striking from the side and in photographs.
Wear it with a nauvari or Paithani saree for a Maharashtrian festive look, or with a cotton kurta and a low bun for everyday ethnic style. It also looks bold with a white shirt and an undercut or short hair. Skip other earrings so the cuff can be the focus.
Most bugadis are small studs on the upper ear. This design takes the idea further and turns the whole ear into the canvas, while staying light. It is a distinctive piece that people notice, and a lovely way to wear a regional tradition in a fresh, everyday way.
The dome rests over the upper rim of the ear and the disc sits on the lobe. Gently adjust the angle of the bar to suit your ear shape; avoid repeated bending.
Make it the last thing you put on and the first thing you remove. A soft, dry brush or cloth is enough to clean the carved details. Store it flat in a closed box with a silica gel sachet during the monsoon, and it will keep its look for many seasons.
