    There’s something about chandbalis that instantly elevates a festive look. Maybe it’s their moon-like shape, maybe it’s the way they catch the light, or maybe it’s the nostalgia they carry from our grandmothers’ jewellery trunks. Whatever it is, the charm of chandbalis continues to endure.


    From classic kundan and polki styles to pearl-detailed or tasselled versions, today’s designs are both rooted in tradition and refreshingly current. They’re versatile enough to complement minimal contemporary outfits or opulent bridal ensembles. So whether you’re the bride or just there for the sangeet, let your chandbalis do the talking and yes, no necklace required.


    Bollywood has long been a loyal fan of chandbalis, with stars like Sonam Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Alia Bhatt often spotted wearing them on red carpets and at weddings. These earrings have become synonymous with effortless glamour is proof that a statement piece doesn’t need a lot of extras to shine. Now it’s your turn to channel that same star-quality style. 


    Whether you’re a bride, bridesmaid, or guest, adding a pair of chandbalis to your ensemble instantly elevates your look, letting your jewellery do the talking while you steal the spotlight.

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.

    The fact that it comes with band, baaja and baraat — what's not to love?And that is the reason our first issue celebrates:
    THE NEW BRIDE.
