Patla Bangles

Patla bangles are traditional Indian bangles, typically wider and flatter than regular bangles. They often feature intricate designs, engravings, or embellishments, making them statement pieces worn on special occasions.

Patla bangles are commonly crafted from gold, silver, or various alloys. They can also be adorned with precious or semi-precious stones, enamel work, or intricate filigree.

Patla bangles are distinguished by their broader, flatter surface and often more elaborate designs compared to regular bangles, which are typically thinner and simpler in form.

Patla bangles can be worn on one hand as a single statement piece or on both hands, often paired with thinner bangles to create a layered and traditional look.

Patla bangles are typically worn for weddings, festivals, religious ceremonies, and other significant traditional events due to their grand and ornamental appearance.

To choose the right size Patla bangle, measure the widest part of your hand where the bangle will slide over. Ensure it's comfortable to put on and take off without being too loose.

While some simpler Patla bangles might be suitable for daily wear, their elaborate nature usually makes them more appropriate for special occasions rather than everyday use.

Care for Patla bangles by wiping them with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. Store them in a separate box or pouch to prevent scratching and exposure to moisture or chemicals.

Due to their wider design and often solid construction, Patla bangles can be heavier than thin bangles. The weight varies depending on the material and craftsmanship.

You can buy authentic Patla bangles at traditional Indian jewelry stores, specialized ethnic jewelry boutiques, and reputable online retailers that focus on traditional Indian craftsmanship.
