Bugadi

Looking for earrings that feel festive, feminine, and unmistakably rooted in tradition?

At Sparkle & Glow, we create jewellery that connects with emotion, looks beautiful, and feels incredible. These gold bugadi earrings are traditional Maharashtrian pieces that have been reinterpreted for a modern-day woman. The silhouette is lightweight, expressive, and has character. Whether you are attending a haldi, sangeet, or going to the temple, these earrings provide a touch of tradition.

What Are Bugadi Earrings—and Why Do They Matter?

Bugadi earrings are traditionally made to be worn on the helix (upper ear) and have a lightweight yet ornate design. We have made this style into adjustable wearable pieces that are suitable for all women, whether you have a helix piercing or fashion them as standard ear pieces. 

Our bugadi earrings for women incorporate lotus styles, meenakari enamel, and drop pearls to make them festive without the heaviness.

Lightweight, Skin-Friendly & Celebration-Ready

We understand how important comfort is. That’s why we make our gold bugadi earrings with the highest quality plating and skin-friendly materials. They’re lightweight for all-day wear and secure enough to dance! You’ll feel great as the bride, bridesmaid, or guest.

How to Style Bugadi Earrings Without a Helix Piercing

Although bugadi earrings were originally used exclusively for helix piercings, generally worn on the upper ear, now you don't need such piercings to wear bugadi earrings. Our bugadi earrings for women all have either standard posts or adjustable hooks, allowing you to wear them on your lower earlobeor clip them higher for a layered look.

 If you are seeking the authentic Maharashtrian effect but don't have a helix, simply wear a jhumka or stud below it; they will pair nicely and make the stacked look. The overall look is really beautiful, suitable for a festive occasion, and easy to wear.

Size & Fit Guide: Choosing the Right Bugadi Style

Uncertain about which bugadi size works best for you?  Here’s a quick overview of how to approach differentiating one size from the next:

• Small bugadis go well for minimalist styling or a stud pairing, perfect for casual everyday wear or a light festive vibe.

• Medium bugadis work for a balanced look when visiting temples, family gatherings, or formal outings.

• Large bugadis with pearls or jadau work for bridal edits and when making a statement.

We recommend also checking product descriptions for precise measurements so you’ll know how a pair will sit and feel. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need further assistance with size.
