From options encrusted with pearls and coloured stones to solid gold choices, consider this your one-stop guide to picking bajubandh for your big day.
Speaking of ‘gram-worthy wedding day looks, jewellery truly ties it all together. For most brides, however, the main focus of their accessories is usually pivoted around their necklace and earrings. And that’s totally fine! But your other bridal baubles need attention too. With so many choices, from your hair to your feet, on the horizon, it would be a shame not to pay attention to the several other ornaments. Another unexpected element that you can incorporate to your big-day look? Jewellery for your arms. If you thought conventional bangles, haathphools, and cocktail cuffs were your only options, you’re about to get some good news. Think beyond the obvious and consider an armlet.
Traditionally known as a bajubandh, it is a type of bracelet worn on the upper part of the arm. Originally, this piece of trinket was worn by men, and eventually became an indispensable part of Bharatanatyam dancers. Since centuries, bajubandhs have held a place of pride among brides too. Although typically worn as a pair on both sides, today, sporting single armlet has become popular with millennial brides.
