Chudi Bangles

Chudi bangles are a specific type of traditional Indian bangle, often characterized by their thinner, more delicate design compared to broader bangles, and are typically worn in larger sets.

The difference between Chudi and regular bangles lies in their thickness and typical wear; Chudi bangles are generally thinner and designed to be stacked in greater numbers, while regular bangles can be thicker and worn individually or in smaller sets.

Chudi bangles are made from various materials, including glass, lac, metal (gold, silver, brass), plastic, and sometimes adorned with stones or intricate designs.

Chudi bangles hold significant cultural importance, particularly in Indian traditions, symbolizing marital status, prosperity, and good fortune, and are often worn during weddings and festivals.

To choose the right size for Chudi bangles, measure the widest part of your hand when compressed to ensure they slide on comfortably. They are usually sized by inner diameter.

To clean Chudi bangles, use a soft, dry cloth for glass or lac ones. For metal Chudi, a mild soap solution and careful drying are best, avoiding harsh chemicals.

Chudi bangles, especially those made from durable materials like metal or sturdy glass, can be worn every day, though more delicate ones are often reserved for special occasions.
