Monsoon Earrings

Profile: These delicate clapperless silver bells are often used to adorn ankles, drums, or doorways. Associated with rhythm and dance, small bells typically accent a dancer's movements, as with the ghunghru tied ankle bells in India's classical dance traditions. This design is inspired by the visual experience and sound of a strong summer monsoon rain: the bells are linked in long columns like the vertical sheets or "showercurtains" moving in the distance with the silvery color of water slipping from the sky, and mimic the rhythmic, tinkling noise on the roof as the storm moves. . . . . . . . . . . . . .. ... . . . . . . . . . . .. ...
