Silver Chandbali Earrings
Crescent-moon chandbali in certified 925 silver.
A chandbali is a crescent-moon shaped Indian earring — chand means moon, bali means hoop — a Mughal-court design that remains the standard festive earring across north India. This collection brings together anokhi's 925 sterling silver chandbali: rhodium-finished crescents pavé-set with lab-created CZ, and oxidised temple-style crescents hung with freshwater cultured pearl drops. Chandbali is normally a gold purchase; in solid sterling silver the same silhouette costs a fraction. BIS hallmarked for 925 purity, with a certificate of authenticity in every box.
About silver chandbali earrings
What is a chandbali earring?
A chandbali is a crescent-moon shaped earring — chand (moon) plus bali (hoop) — a Mughal-origin design worn for weddings and festivals across north India. It usually has a small stud or hook top with the crescent hanging below.
Can chandbali be made in silver instead of gold?
Yes, and it is the sensible way to own the shape. A pair in 925 sterling silver costs a small fraction of the same silhouette in gold, and with a rhodium finish the colour reads close to white gold.
Are silver chandbali comfortable to wear?
Our pairs are kept light, with the crescent worked hollow rather than cast solid. They are festive-weight earrings — comfortable for a full function, though most people keep them for occasions rather than office days.
What stones are set in them?
Lab-created cubic zirconia on the rhodium designs, and freshwater cultured pearls on the oxidised temple-style pair. No diamonds, no natural gemstones, and no astrological claims.
