What is the Difference Between Jhumkas and Chandelier Earrings?

While both jhumkas and chandelier earrings are ornate and hang below the earlobe, jhumkas have a distinct bell shape that is a hallmark of Indian traditional design. Chandelier earrings, on the other hand, have a multi-tiered design that resembles a chandelier and may not have the cultural or traditional significance of jhumkas.

Are Gold Jhumkas Available in Different Styles?

Yes, gold jhumkas come in various styles, including temple-style jhumkas, antique gold jhumkas, jhumkas with pearls or gemstones, and modern minimalist designs. This allows you to choose based on your personal style and the occasion.

What is the Difference Between Solid Gold and Gold-plated Jhumkas?

Solid gold jhumkas are made entirely of gold, making them more valuable and durable. Gold-plated jhumkas, on the other hand, have a base metal coated with a thin layer of gold, making them more affordable but less durable over time as the gold layer may wear off.

Are Gold Jhumkas Suitable for Sensitive Ears?

Yes, if your gold jhumkas are made from solid 916 gold or 999 gold, they are usually hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive ears. It’s best to avoid gold-plated or alloy-based jhumkas if you have sensitive skin or allergies.
