There’s something wonderfully nostalgic about old Madras checks - the slightly unexpected colours, the bold lines, and the way everything comes together without ever feeling too polished. Retro Madras takes that familiar checkered rhythm and gives it a new shape: a classic jhumka, reimagined in clay.
Warm ochres, burnt orange, muted red and deep blue meet in intersecting bands, creating a pattern that feels vintage, playful and unmistakably Indian. The checks follow the curve of the dome, so the pattern changes subtly as the jhumka moves - almost like a tiny piece of woven colour, but unmistakably sculpted.
Handcrafted from clay composite - clay, paper pulp and wood powder, each pair carries its own little variations. A protective weather-resistant coating gives it a smooth, glossy finish and helps preserve the colours.
