How to make Indian pearl earrings?
Jhumka earrings, known for their bell-shaped silhouette, have been an essential part of traditional Indian jewelry for centuries. They are believed to bring luck and prosperity to the wearer. They are therefore a very common traditional gift. In the past, they were mostly made of gold or silver and richly decorated with precious stones and pearls. In the popular series"The Bridgerton Chronicle", one of the main characters in season 2, a native of India, regularly wears Jhumka in his ears, along with other fine jewelry.
Today, these domed or umbrella-shaped ear rings are a regular feature of fashion, both in India and abroad. These elegant earrings can be adapted in many different ways. For this summer, we're proposing two models of dangling pearl ear rings inspired by Indian Jhumka. They invite themselves into your wardrobe in a more refined form. For a contemporary approach, opt for colorful, monochrome seed bead Jhumkas. In this tutorial, the blue beads are 11/0 seed beads by Preciosa Ornella. They are available in a palette of bright or pastel colors. This modern version can be perfectly matched with more casual outfits like cropped jeans and a white t-shirt, bringing a touch of exoticism and originality.
For summer evenings, choose the pearly pearl long ear rings model and pair it with a flowing maxi dress for a bohemian chic look, or dare to contrast by wearing them with a highly structured outfit for a sophisticated effect. Don't hesitate to personalize your earrings with your favorite colors.
