Hand-Embroidered Purple Bangles with Gold Sequins – South Asian Artisan Jewelry

Description

Three tiers of maroon velvet, each adorned with hand-embroidered gold sequins and metallic thread, curve gently to fit the wrist—a wearable homage to South Asia’s textile legacy. Crafted from supple velvet (soft as aged silk) and accented with sequins stitched individually by artisans, these bangles balance weight and grace: the fabric yields to the skin, while the sequins catch light like fragments of a sunset suspended in motion.

The geometric patterns—inspired by Mughal-era architectural motifs—trace the bangles in delicate ridges, their metallic sheen deepening with each passing hour, much like tea steeping in twilight. Worn alone, they offer understated elegance; stacked, they form a terraced cascade, their textures shifting from rough velvet to smooth sequin with every movement. The maroon hue, rich as a monsoon sky at dusk, grounds the gold accents, which resist tarnish as stubbornly as the traditions they honor.

These bangles are meant to be lived with. Pair them with linen for summer evenings, layer them under cashmere for winter warmth, or tuck one into the spine of a well-loved book as a quiet keepsake. Each piece carries the imprint of its maker—a reminder that true luxury lies in the hours spent shaping beauty by hand.
