Earring Styles: Jhumka, Chandbali, Cascading, Studs, Temple
Posted by CUNEI INDIA
Indian earring searches split by shape, not by colour. A green jhumka and a pink jhumka are the same product in two finishes. A jhumka and a chandbali are not. This is the map of what Cunei actually stocks, and which page to open.
Start at earrings for women. Then the shape:
- Jhumka earrings — bell or dome with a drop. Includes lion jhumkas and horse jhumkas; those motifs are colours of a jhumka, not their own category.
- Kashmiri earrings and long Kashmiri jhumkas — the long ghungroo drop versus a short dangler. Long vs short.
- Chandbali earrings — crescent. Chandbali vs jhumka.
- Cascading earrings — a free fall of stones or pearls. Chandelier earrings — tiered. Which is which.
- Stud earrings and kundan studs. Peacock and floral studs sit with the other studs. How to choose a stud.
- Temple earrings — Laxmi, Ganesha, elephant. Motif guide.
What not to open a new page for
Colour is a swatch, not a subcategory. “Green cascading earrings” is the cascading page, filtered by eye. Lion jhumkas (6 colours) and horse jhumkas (4 colours) stay inside jhumkas because that is how people search: jhumka first, motif second. Two-pair groups — a single teardrop leaf, one pearl jhumka colourway — do not get a URL.
Occasion, briefly
Office or a day kurta: studs. Mehendi, when henna is the point: studs or a short jhumka. Wedding guest with a closed neckline: long jhumka, Kashmiri, or chandelier, and no second necklace. Puja and Diwali: temple earrings. A silk saree that is already loud: chandbali or a controlled cascade, not every stone you own.
Everything here is fashion jewellery. Not hallmarked gold, not Srinagar silver, not 925 temple silver. Free shipping and COD across India.
Frequently asked questions
Are cascading earrings and chandelier earrings the same?
No. A cascade falls freely, like a waterfall. A chandelier is built in tiers. Cunei lists them as two collections.
Is a chandbali a jhumka?
No. A jhumka is a bell. A chandbali is a crescent, wider through the middle.
Where are Laxmi and Ganesha earrings?
On the temple earrings collection, with elephant drops. They are fashion motifs, not silver temple jewellery.
