Jhumkas...

We're all aware of Desi Academia's obsession with Jhumkas, but let's take a look at some other types of earrings from the subcontinent that deserve the same amount of love and appreciation.

Note: Some people might use the term Jhumka to refer to any and all styles of earrings, but in actuality, only the bell-shaped earrings are qualified to be called Jhumkas!

Bali

Balis or hoop earrings come in a wide variety of sizes and embellishments which can be appropriate for anything from daily wear to festive wear.

Chandbali

Chandbalis are the jeweled interpretation of the crescent moon. Worn by Mughal and Rajput women in the medieval period.

Dhungri

Traditional Nepalese earrings worn in the centre of the ear, usually circle or square-shaped. A rare kind of Dhungri is the Kan ("ear") Dhungri, which replicates the shape of the ear.

Passa

Passa (or Jhumar) is a head ornament that has its origin in the Mughal period and is pinned to one side of the head. The Passa-style earring is basically the same, but in earring form.

Thuriya

Thuriya is a form of Assamese jewellery worn by aged women. The design symbolises a lotus with a heavy stem adorned with gemstones and exquisite meenakari.

Bonus: Sahara Chain

Sahara ("support") chain or ear chain is a type of ornament which is worn by attaching it to an earring on one end, and to the hair of the wearer on the other. It provides support to the earring, thereby lifting some of the weight off the ears.
