Jhumkas are traditional South Asian earrings with a long history, dating back to ancient India around 1500 BCE. Originally made from gold and decorated with precious stones, they were a sign of wealth and were worn by royalty and the affluent. The bell-shaped design of jhumkas was inspired by temple bells and was associated with good fortune and divine blessings, making them popular for weddings and festivals.
Over time, jhumkas have evolved with different styles and materials reflecting the diverse artistic traditions of South Asia. During the Mughal period, they became more ornate with detailed designs and gemstones. Today, jhumkas remain a popular accessory, blending ancient traditions with modern fashion, and are cherished as cultural symbols and heirlooms.
Nowadays, many people enjoy wearing jhumkas to match their formal outfits. However, buying a solid gold or silver pair for each outfit can be quite costly, leading many to opt for artificial jewelry instead. While artificial pieces offer versatility, they often cause skin allergies, tarnish quickly, and are prone to breakage. Therefore at Sajaya, we aim to offer the finest quality jhumkas made from durable metals and plated with high-quality gold and rhodium. This ensures a luxurious look while keeping the cost affordable, so you can enjoy elegant, long-lasting jewelry without compromise.
