Hand-Embroidered Gold Bangles with Mirror Work – South Asian Artisan Jewelry

Description

Three tiers of shimmering gold silk wrap around the wrist, each band adorned with hand-stitched mirror work and metallic beads that catch light like fractured moonlight. Crafted from luxurious silk thread, these bangles are a tactile masterpiece: the fabric yields softly to the skin, while the sequins—circular fragments of mirrored glass bordered in gold thread—create a hypnotic dance of reflection. The patterns echo Mughal-era architectural details, their geometric precision softened by the organic texture of the silk.

Wear them stacked for a cascading effect, or singly as a minimalist statement. The weight is deliberate—a grounding counterpoint to the ethereal glow of the mirrors. Paired with linen for summer evenings or velvet for winter soirées, they bridge tradition and modernity without shouting. These bangles are not just jewelry but a quiet rebellion against forgetfulness, carrying the fingerprints of artisans who learned their craft through generations of whispered lessons.
