*Pretty and Shine Handmade Rajasthani Bangles - Size 2.6*

Bring the color and heritage of Rajasthan to your wrist with these handmade Rajasthani bangles, crafted in the traditional style and sized at 2.6 inches diameter for a classic medium fit. Each set is shaped, painted, and finished by hand, so no two bangles are ever identical.

*Design and Craftsmanship*
Inspired by the vibrant bazaars of Jaipur and Jodhpur, these bangles blend age-old techniques with wearable elegance. Artisans use locally sourced materials and finish every piece with traditional tools, honoring the craft passed down through generations of Rajasthani makers.

Key details:

• *Material*: High-quality brass base with hand-applied lac, meenakari enamel, or kundan stonework depending on the style. The inner rim is smoothed and lined for comfortable all-day wear.
• *Artwork*: Intricate motifs like peacocks, paisleys, and floral jaals are painted by hand using mineral-based colors. Some designs feature mirror work, fine gold-tone filigree, or embedded glass kundan for that signature Rajasthani sparkle.
• *Finish*: Multiple layers of protective lacquer seal the color and add a glossy shine while preventing tarnish. The edges are buffed to avoid snags on fabric.
• *Size*: 2.6 inch inner diameter. This is the standard “2-6” size, suited for medium wrists. It slips on easily but sits securely without sliding. If you are unsure, measure across the widest part of your closed hand. If it measures close to 2.6 inches, this size will fit.

*What Makes Them Rajasthani*
Rajasthani bangles are known for bold color, detailed storytelling, and festive weight. Our version keeps the cultural richness but refines the weight so you can wear them daily, not just to weddings. The color palette draws from desert sunsets and palace walls: maroon, emerald, royal blue, antique gold, and ivory. Gold-tone detailing is done with 22k gold-plating over the brass to capture the regal look without the fragility of pure foil work.

*Styling Guide*
These bangles are made to mix. Wear a single bold piece with your everyday kurta, or stack 6-12 together for a bridal or festive chura effect. They pair beautifully with:

• Solid-colored linen or cotton kurtas for a pop of tradition
• Lehengas and silk sarees during weddings and Diwali
• Western outfits like a black dress or denim to add boho contrast

The sound they make is part of the charm. A soft, musical clink that Rajasthani tradition says brings joy and wards off negative energy.

*Care Instructions*
Handmade lac and enamel last for years when treated gently.

• *Keep dry*: Remove before washing hands, showering, or applying lotion and perfume.
• *Store safe*: Place in the cotton pouch provided to avoid scratches. Do not stack loose in a drawer.
• *Clean softly*: Wipe with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid chemical cleaners or water.
• *Wear mindfully*: Roll over the hand gently. Do not force or pull them apart, as the lac can chip under stress.
