The Detail

About this piece

A bugadi is a small ornament worn on the upper curve of the ear — the helix — traditionally Maharashtrian and now worn across India as everyday cartilage jewellery. This anokhi bugadi is a fine oxidised 925 sterling silver hinged hoop with a flower motif, sized small so it sits flush against the cartilage rather than standing proud. Sold as a single, for a fully healed helix piercing.

How to wear

For a healed helix piercing only — cartilage takes 6–12 months to heal fully, so wait it out. Open the hinge, seat it through the piercing and click it shut, then sleep on the other side for the first few nights.

Silver care

Wipe with the cloth in your box after wear, and store the piece dry in its pouch — trapped moisture is what darkens silver fastest. Put jewellery on last, after perfume, lotion and hairspray, and take it off before a bath, the pool or the gym. Tarnish, when it appears, is a harmless surface reaction that wipes off — and it only happens to real silver. Avoid toothpaste and baking soda on rhodium, gold-plated or oxidised finishes.

Questions

Frequently asked

What is the difference between a bugadi and an ear cuff?

A bugadi goes through a pierced helix; an ear cuff clips onto the cartilage with no piercing at all. If your upper ear is not pierced, choose one of our ear cuffs instead.

Is 925 silver safe for a cartilage piercing?

For a fully healed piercing, yes — 925 sterling silver has no nickel core and is well tolerated. For a fresh or still-healing cartilage piercing, follow your piercer's advice and use their recommended starter jewellery.

Is this real 925 sterling silver?

Yes. Every anokhi piece is solid 925 sterling silver (92.5% pure), BIS hallmarked for 925 purity where applicable, and ships with a certificate of authenticity — never silver-plated or German silver.

Will it tarnish, and how do I care for it?

Pieces carry an anti-tarnish finish. Wipe with the included cloth, avoid perfume/water contact, and store dry in the pouch between wears to keep them bright for years.

What are the shipping, COD and return terms?

Free shipping above ₹999, cash on delivery pan-India, and 7-day easy returns on unused, hallmarked items in original packaging. Authenticity issues are refunded in full.
