Kundan Chandbali Earrings
The chandbali is the crescent: a moon shape packed with stones, hung below a kundan flower, and finished with a row of pearl drops along the lower rim. It is the classic North Indian wedding-guest earring, big enough to carry a plain outfit on its own.
Six shapes here, and the shape is the decision. The wide round crescent is the statement pair. The teardrop suits a rounder face. The fan sits closer to the jaw if you find full chandbalis too long.

Questions about Kundan Chandbali Earrings
Which chandbali shape should I pick?
Wide round for maximum impact with a bare neck. Teardrop if you have a rounder face and want a narrower silhouette. Fan if full chandbalis usually hang too low for you. Leaf if you want something less symmetrical than the standard crescent.
Can I wear a necklace with these?
With the wide ones, better not, or only a very simple chain - anything at the throat crowds the crescent. The fan and teardrop shapes leave more room.
How heavy are they?
Around 37 grams the pair. Enough to feel substantial, light enough that you are not taking them off halfway through the evening.
Will these irritate sensitive ears?
The gold plating is what sits against your skin rather than the metal underneath. If your ears are sensitive, wear a new pair for a short first outing before a full-day function.
Can I return it if it does not suit me?
Jewellery is worn against the skin, so we do not accept change-of-mind returns - which means every piece you receive is one nobody else has worn. If a piece arrives damaged or with a manufacturing defect, tell us within 3 days of delivery - with an unboxing video for transit damage, or photos for a defect - and we will repair or replace it free.
