Pearl Bangles for Every Maharashtrian Occasion

Pearl bangles are the piece most of our customers ask for first when they come in for a festival look. Pearls are in our name, so this is a collection we take seriously. On this page you will find moti patlya, pearl kadas, pearl bangles mixed with coloured stones, and full sets for brides. The pearls on these pieces are imitation or shell pearls set on gold-tone bases, not real gold, which keeps them light and easy on the budget.

Our Laxmi Road store sees a real rush before Gudi Padwa and Mangalagaur. Everyone wants the same thing: a wrist full of white moti that goes with a nauvari or a paithani.

Traditional pearl bangles for Maharashtrian looks

When people say traditional pearl bangles, they usually mean the kind their aaji wore. Rows of small white pearls, a gold-look border, sometimes a line of red or green stones in the middle. These are still our best sellers.

Moti patlya and tode

Patlya are flat, broad bangles with pearls set in neat rows. Tode are heavier and rounder. Many women wear patlya on both hands and one tode at the end to close the look. If you are doing a Mangalagaur puja or a Ganpati aarti in a nauvari, this combination looks just right.

Pearl bangle design choices

Beyond the classic style, we keep a range of pearl bangle design options:

• Single-line pearl bangles that you can wear with office kurtis
• Pearl and kundan mixes for sangeet and reception
• Pearl bangles with small ruby-red or emerald-green stones for paithani colours
• Openable kadas with a screw, which are easier if your hands are a little wide at the knuckles

A college girl came in before her friend’s wedding asking for “something with moti but not too old-fashioned”. She left with a thin pearl pair and two plain gold-look bangles. Sometimes simple works best.

Pairs or a pearl bangles set?

A pearl bangles set is usually four, six or eight bangles designed to be worn together, with matching pearls and the same base colour. It saves you the trouble of matching pieces from different shops, and the look is more uniform in photos. Brides and their close family mostly go for a full set.

If you already own gold-look bangles and just want to add pearls, buy a pair and mix. That works well for regular festivals.

How many to wear on each hand

For a nauvari or bridal look, two to four pearl bangles per hand is common, often with glass bangles in between. For office or a small puja at home, one pair on one hand is enough. I always tell customers not to overload both wrists if the necklace is already heavy. Let one piece lead.

How to wear pearl bangles with the rest of your jewellery

These pair naturally with a pearl set, a moti ranihaar or a tanmani. For a full traditional look, match the white of the pearls across your necklace, earrings and nath. If you are wearing a chinchpeti or thushi, choose pearl bangles with a similar gold tone so nothing looks out of place.

For modern outfits, a single pearl bangle with a watch on the other hand looks neat and not too festive.

Caring for pearl work

Imitation pearls have a coating that gives them their shine. That coating is what you need to protect.

What we tell every customer

1. Wear perfume and lotion first, then put on the bangles.
2. Keep them away from water, so no bathing or washing clothes with them on.
3. Wipe with a soft dry cloth and store in a box, not in a plastic bag with other metal jewellery.

It won’t keep its shine forever if you spray perfume on it every day, but with basic care a good pair lasts many seasons.
