Elegant Jadau Kundan Wide Lotus Floral Bugadi Earrings

Embrace the beauty of tradition and elegance with our Elegant Jadau Kundan Wide Lotus Floral Bugadi Earrings — a tribute to India’s age-old jewellery heritage and timeless aesthetics. These earrings, meticulously handcrafted with intricate detailing, offer the perfect harmony between classic charm and contemporary wearability. Designed for women who cherish tradition with a modern touch, these earrings stand out as a dazzling expression of cultural richness and artistic finesse.

The highlight of this exquisite pair is the wide lotus floral motif, symbolizing purity, divinity, and inner strength in Indian culture. The lotus has always held spiritual importance in Indian mythology and art — and here, it blossoms in full glory with carefully carved petals, each painted in a vibrant emerald green enamel. The blooming lotus structure is further elevated with Jadau Kundan craftsmanship — a traditional Rajasthani technique that involves setting uncut glass stones in a gold foil base.

At the heart of the lotus, three shimmering uncut kundan stones — one teardrop-shaped and two pear-cut — add ethereal sparkle to the piece. Their translucent clarity and warm golden framing allow them to catch light from every angle, creating a dazzling play of reflections that make the earrings glow radiantly against the skin.

Dangling delicately beneath the floral centerpiece are clusters of mini pearl beads arranged in fine golden loops. These pearls, with their milky sheen and gentle sway, add movement, texture, and an extra layer of femininity to the earrings. Every pearl is tipped with gold-toned beads that enhance the opulence of the piece while keeping it lightweight and comfortable for prolonged wear.

What sets this piece apart is its distinctive bugadi-style silhouette — a classic element from Maharashtrian jewellery traditions. Traditionally worn on the upper ear cartilage, the bugadi is a curved ear ornament that hugs the helix of the ear. This modern interpretation maintains the original structure but adapts it to suit festive and bridal wear across India. It’s an ideal accessory for haldi functions, temple visits, traditional dance events, and grand weddings.
