The aim is to revive the slowing dying Jhumka industry in the UK, through creatively using western materials.
Jhumka 47 is an Indo-Pakistani jhumka brand that will bridge the gap between Indians and Pakistani living in the UK.
Jhumka’s are bells shaped earrings, traditional to India and
Pakistan. Despite them being two different country with different traditions and religions, jhumka’s hold a sacred value for both.
But unfortunately, these factors have significantly impacted the demand for jhumka’s in UK.
