A pair of slim bangles set with a continuous line of square stones, shown worn on the wrist. Each bangle carries the stones edge to edge so the band reads as a bracelet of colour rather than metal with stones on it.
The square cut is what separates this from the usual round-stone kada. Set side by side with almost no metal showing between them, the squares form an unbroken band, and in the two-colour options the stones alternate so the line reads as a repeating pattern.
Wear them together on one wrist, or one on each. Because the stones run all the way round, they look the same from any angle, which suits raised-arm photographs.
Weddings, sangeet, receptions and festive family evenings.
Because this is a pair, it is worth deciding before ordering whether you will wear them together or one on each wrist — stacked, the two bands rub, and over time that shows on the stone edges. A thin cloth spacer in the pouch keeps them apart in storage, which is the main place the damage happens.
Two bangles also give you a choice the single kadas do not: worn one on each wrist they read as restrained, and stacked on one wrist with the stones aligned they read as a single wide band. It is worth trying both in front of a mirror before the function, because the two looks suit different sleeves.
Buying bangles in a pair solves the problem most single kadas have: one slim band on a bare wrist looks like something is missing. Here both wrists can be dressed from one purchase, or both bangles stacked on one arm for a heavier line.
The square settings sit flush against each other, which looks good but means the stones take any knock before the metal does. Treat the pair as evening jewellery rather than something to wear while cooking or carrying bags.
The square-cut stones are what make this the most expensive bangle in the batch. Square settings need more accurate metalwork than round ones, because any gap between two squares is visible as a wedge of shadow, while round stones hide small irregularities in the spacing between them.
A natural wedding gift, since a pair is a complete present on its own. More in our bangles.
This is brass with a bright silver-tone plating rather than solid or sterling silver, which is what keeps the price where it is. Plating is a surface rather than a bulk property, so how long it lasts depends almost entirely on what it meets — perfume, hairspray and sweat all shorten it, while a dry cloth after wearing and a closed pouch between wearings extend it considerably.
Put this on after perfume, hairspray and hand cream, and take it off before washing, swimming or sleeping. Wipe with a dry soft cloth and use a dry soft brush around the stone settings and between any pearls, where a cloth cannot reach. Store it in a zip-lock pouch — the single most effective thing for a plated piece, because it keeps humid air off the metal. Never use silver polish, dip cleaners or an ultrasonic cleaner.
