Dark Rainbow Raindrop Glass Bangles

Each of these slim glass bangles carries rows of faceted droplets in deep pinks, blues, ambers and greens, dotted through with tiny golden beads, so a full stack reads like rain caught mid-fall against an evening sky. The palette is the dark half of the rainbow, richer and moodier than the usual festival brights.

Handcrafted from premium-quality glass, the bangles are thin enough to wear a dozen at once, and that is genuinely how they are meant to be worn. The faceting means every small movement of the hand scatters light, while the golden polka dots keep warmth in the mix even indoors.

They weigh very little for the effect they produce, comfortable from the morning haldi through the last dance. Weddings and festivals are their obvious homes, though two or three slipped among plain metal bangles will smarten an everyday kurta without ceremony.

Glass wants a little courtesy: on over a soft surface, off before scrubbing dishes, stored where they cannot chime against each other all night. Sizes 2.4, 2.6 and 2.8 are available. If you are gifting a bangle lover, the dark palette is the one they probably do not own yet, which is exactly what makes it the better present.
