Kundan Teardrop and Pearl Border Openable Copper Bangles (Pair)

There is a particular grammar to heirloom jewellery: the teardrop, repeated, becomes a sentence that never ends. These openable Kundan-style bangles are set in copper, a metal long favoured by artisan workshops for its warm, ruddy undertone and its willingness to hold set stones without the weight of heavier base alloys. Each bangle carries a row of teardrop-shaped stones arranged in the Kundan tradition, where foil-backed settings press the stone close against the metal so that light is caught and returned rather than simply passed through. The border of small pearls that edges each piece belongs to a finishing sensibility seen across Rajasthan, particularly in Jaipur ateliers where Meenakari and Kundan work share the same bench. The openable hinge closure is a practical inheritance from older bangle forms, allowing the pair to be worn securely without the ceremony of sizing down a solid circle over the wrist. The combined weight of the pair is 120 grams, substantial enough to carry with authority. Wear this pair with an ivory silk kurta and a fine cotton dupatta for a winter afternoon gathering. They read equally well against the zardozi border of a heavy lehenga, where the pearl edging answers the embroidery without competing with it. Available in sizes 2/4, 2/6 and 2/8, the set of two bangles accommodates a range of wrists comfortably. The hinged opening makes them straightforward to fasten and remove, ensuring they remain a pleasure to wear daily rather than an occasion reserved for ceremony alone.
