Bangals

Bangles are traditionally rigid, circular pieces of jewelry worn around the wrist, distinct from flexible bracelets because they typically lack a clasp and must slide over the hand. Worn singly or in sets on one or both arms, they are a fundamental symbol of feminine grace, prosperity, and cultural identity throughout South Asia.

Bangles range from simple, unadorned bands for daily wear to incredibly intricate, wide statement pieces for weddings and festivals. The gentle, characteristic tinkling sound made when they move on the wrist is often considered an auspicious and beautiful sound.
