kundalas

Kundalas are a type of earring originating from India. Historically, they were often made of gold or silver and could be plain or elaborately decorated with precious stones like diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. The design typically features a circular or semi-circular shape, sometimes with dangling elements. Kundalas have been worn by both men and women across various social strata and regions of India for centuries. Their popularity and styles have evolved over time, reflecting changing fashion trends and cultural influences. In modern times, kundalas are still a popular jewelry choice, produced in a wide range of materials and designs to suit contemporary tastes, though traditional motifs remain prevalent. They are often considered a significant part of traditional Indian attire and are frequently worn during festivals, weddings, and other special occasions. The term "kundala" itself derives from Sanskrit, referring to a ring or circle.
