The word ‘jhumka’ instantly evokes a picture of movement and fluidity. The name of this traditional bell-shaped earring, is after all, an onomatopoeia — meant to reflect the distinctive jingle that its suspended beads and adornments make with every turn of the head. The word translates to ‘bell’ or ‘bowl’, fittingly named after the silhouette’s most significant feature.
Today, jhumka earrings are likely to be a staple of one’s festive and wedding season wardrobe. Its timelessness adds a traditional update to any given look, while its versatility allows for pairing with contemporary occasionwear too. The best of both worlds, if you may. You can also call it a marriage of something old and something new.
