Jimki, dangling bell-shaped earrings

I remember well my first pair of jimkis. Gold they were, set with a blue stone. When I was allowed to wear them, which was not often because they were too heavy for my still tender earlobes, I remember shaking my head just to feel the weight of the bell shaped danglers oscillate to and fro. 


Much later did I learn they were also called jhumkas, and that they were the favourite of a Mughal Empress. That nothing complements Indian clothes as well as jimkis do. In my life, I’ve owned dozens of pairs of jimkis; and loved them all.
