Introducing BANDLU~1 Earrings! ✨
We are thrilled to share this unique design intervention we did that celebrates an endangered craftsmanship: the gold foil technique of Bandlu, a traditional art practiced by generational artists in rural Rajasthan. 
This exquisite technique is increasingly rare, with only a handful of skilled silversmiths continuing the practice, as many designs are now being produced using machine gold plating—often indistinguishable to the untrained eye. The designs are often very traditional, here we have used simpler forms for a modern tribal look that also highlights the beauty of this style of silversmithing. This process involves bezel setting silver on silver backplate, with 24K gold foil attached onto the component before bezel setting, using a pressure-and-heat method similar to keum-boo. 
The stunning results of our BANDLU Earrings perfectly align with the nature-inspired forms of our entire seedpod collection
We have co-created a limited batch of designs, so quantities are scarce. Shine bright with our Bandlu earrings, super versatile and all day comfort wear ✨✨
