Kundan jhumkas on a gold-polished brass body, the stones bedded flat in metal rims and coloured stones. A square stud sits on the lobe. They measure about 1 inch.
What makes this a jhumka rather than a drop is the hollow bell: the whole lower half is a dome of thin metal with an open mouth. That construction is why an earring this wide still weighs almost nothing on the lobe.
The top is a small square set on its point, a diamond to the eye, which gives the round bell below it something angular to sit against.
Glass beads hang from the rim in a close fringe. The fringe exists for movement: it catches the eye when the wearer moves, where a solid edge only catches it when the light does.
Coloured glass stones are used alongside the clear ones. Glass is the right choice for colour at this price: it takes a deeper, more saturated shade than any cut crystal does.
It is a small earring by the standards of this kind of work, which is exactly what makes it wearable on an ordinary day rather than only at a wedding.
What you are holding is plated brass. That is what makes a kundan earring of this scale affordable, and it is also why it has real heft instead of feeling like foil.
Those wide flat rims around the stones are the kundan idiom. Kundan setting beds a flat stone in soft metal worked cold around its edge, and the shape it leaves behind is the most recognisable thing in Indian jewellery. Nothing here is gold foil, but the proportions are the ones that technique produced.
10 shades are available: Red, White, Purple, Pink, Sky Blue, Multi Color, Green, Black, Baby Pink and Lavender. The swatches on this page show them; the shade you choose is confirmed on your enquiry before anything is charged.
These belong with a saree or a lehenga rather than a high-collared kurta, and they want the ears clear. A bell that cannot swing is only a shape.
There is no sense in which this is an investment piece, and that is rather the point of it — you can buy a pair that suits one outfit, wear it to one wedding, and be perfectly satisfied.
Treat the finish as the wearing part. Keep it away from water, perfume and hair spray, put the earrings on after you have finished dressing, and wipe them with a dry cotton cloth before they go away. Stored dry in a zip pouch with the air pressed out, the finish lasts for years; left in a humid bathroom it will not last a season.
Checkout on this piece runs through an enquiry rather than a cart. Colour stock moves fast at this price, so we confirm the exact shade, the price and the delivery estimate with you before anything is paid. Keyura is prepaid only — there is no cash on delivery on any order, on any product.
