The Origin and History of Jhumkas

Jhumkas, also known as jhumkis or bell earrings, have been an integral part of Indian jewelry for centuries. Originating from South India, these earrings were initially worn by temple dancers and later became popular among women across the country. The bell-shaped design, often adorned with intricate patterns and embellishments, symbolizes the divine and is believed to bring good fortune.

 

Intricate Craftsmanship: The Art of Making Jhumkas

Creating a pair of jhumkas is a meticulous process that requires exceptional skill and precision. At Dishis Jewels, our artisans use traditional techniques passed down through generations. Here’s a glimpse into the craftsmanship involved:

 

Designing: The process begins with designing the jhumkas. Our designers draw intricate patterns, considering both aesthetics and structural integrity.

 

Wax Casting: A wax model of the design is created, which is then used to form a mold. This mold is filled with molten gold to create the basic structure of the jhumka.

 

Filigree Work: The raw gold structure is then adorned with detailed filigree work, where thin gold wires are twisted and shaped to form intricate patterns.

 

Stone Setting: Many jhumkas feature precious and semi-precious stones. These stones are carefully selected and set into the gold framework, adding a touch of color and elegance.

 

Polishing: Finally, the jhumkas are polished to perfection, bringing out the luster and shine of the gold.
