Jhumkas, a traditional symbol of Indian jewelry, have a rich and timeless history. Often worn by women across India, these bell-shaped earrings have roots that date back to ancient times. In Hindu mythology, jhumkas are believed to symbolize divine beauty and grace, often depicted in classical art and literature. They were once worn by celestial beings and queens, representing both elegance and royalty.

The design of jhumkas, with their intricate patterns and often delicate dangling chains, evokes the sounds of bells, which are considered auspicious in Indian culture, warding off evil spirits and bringing prosperity. Over time, these earrings have evolved into a statement of both tradition and modernity, cherished for their ability to add a touch of regal charm to any attire.
