Women’s Antique Gold Plated Bali Jhumka Earrings

A bali jhumka: the hoop of a bali carrying the bell of a jhumka, made in alloy under a gold plating finished to a warm antique tone rather than a bright yellow one. That warmer tone is what makes it read as traditional instead of costume, and it sits more comfortably against Indian skin tones in daylight. The hoop-and-bell combination gives you two silhouettes in one pair. Worn with a straight kurta and open hair it stays understated enough for a family lunch or a Diwali afternoon, and worn with a saree and a tied bun it becomes the finished, deliberate look you want for an evening function. The circular top means it frames the lobe rather than dropping straight down. Hand-checked before packing and sent in a gift pouch. Plated finishes wear from contact with moisture and chemicals long before they wear from use, so keep the pair away from water and perfume, put it on last, and store it in the pouch after each wear.
