Jewellery trends may come and go, but few designs have endured like Chandbalis. Rooted in heritage and elegance, these crescent-shaped earrings have remained a staple for centuries. From the grandeur of royal courts to modern-day celebrations, Chandbalis have evolved while retaining their timeless appeal, blending tradition with contemporary aesthetics.
A tale as old as time
Chandbalis are one of the most distinctive jewellery styles, traditionally crafted into exquisite earrings with their signature crescent shape, inspired by “the chand”—the moon. Chandbalis have long been associated with status and beauty. From the opulent Mughal courts to the grandeur of Rajput royalty, Chandbalis have transcended generations, remaining an enduring symbol of elegance and grace. Their elaborate detailing and regal charm make them a coveted choice for weddings, festive occasions, and cultural celebrations. Over time, artisans have refined the designs, incorporating pearls, gemstones, and intricate metalwork, enhancing their elegance while making them more versatile for modern wear.
The crescent moon shape and intricate floral motifs vividly reflect Islamic symbolism, Chandbalis were originally crafted for the royal families of Rajasthan, where they became a mark of status and sophistication.Traditional Chandbalis feature a crescent moon base, often crafted in gold or gold-plated silver, adorned with intricate filigree work, meenakari detailing, and uncut gemstones like polki. Pearls, a signature element of Hyderabadi jewellery, are frequently incorporated, either as delicate drops or elaborate tiers, enhancing the regal aesthetic of these earrings.
Whether it’s the rich use of emeralds and rubies for a Mughal-inspired look or the delicate pairing of pastel enamel work with pearls for a more modern touch, the craftsmanship behind Chandbalis continues to evolve while staying true to its royal roots.
From Crescents to Vivid Angulars
As jewellery craftsmanship evolves, designers continue to push creative boundaries while honoring the legacy of these classic earrings. While Chandbalis were once exclusively crescent-shaped, contemporary interpretations experiment with angular silhouettes and bold structures, offering a fresh perspective on this timeless accessory.

One of the most striking transformations in modern Chandbali designs is the embrace of unconventional colors. While classic Chandbalis were traditionally designed in monochrome palettes with gold bases and muted gemstones, today’s adaptations celebrate a vibrant spectrum, making them suitable for a wider range of occasions.

At Kicky & Perky, we champion this evolution by incorporating materials such as amethyst, enamel, and talfe to create Chandbalis in captivating hues. From deep royal blues and mystical purples to playful pinks and fiery reds, our collection redefines Chandbalis as statement pieces infused with modern artistry. Whether it’s a pastel-hued creation for a daytime event or a jewel-toned masterpiece for an evening celebration, these contemporary designs ensure that every woman finds a Chandbali that resonates with her unique style and personality.
