Jhumka and jhumki are two of the most loved earring styles in Pakistan. Many people use the words interchangeably, but when you shop you will notice that they usually mean slightly different things. Here is a simple guide.

What is a jhumka?

A jhumka is a bell-shaped earring that hangs from a stud. It is usually bigger and more detailed, often with pearl drops, bead tassels or stone work around the bell. Jhumkas make a statement, so they are popular for weddings, mehndi, Eid and festive dinners.

What is a jhumki?

A jhumki is the lighter, more delicate version. It is often smaller, with a slimmer shape such as a teardrop, paisley or butterfly design, and is comfortable enough to wear for long hours. Jhumkis are a great choice for daily wear, office, university and casual get-togethers, and they still add a traditional touch.
