Share
Indian festivals are a kaleidoscope of colors, lights, music, and tradition. But nothing reflects that celebratory spirit quite like mirror-work Jewellery. From Navratri nights to Diwali gatherings and wedding functions, mirror embellishments have become a shining symbol of joy, culture, and self-expression. At Gamthi Fashion, we celebrate this artistry through handcrafted designs that echo centuries of heritage.
A Glimpse into the Past: Origins of Mirror Work
Mirror work, also known as “Abhla Bharat”, dates back over 400 years and has its roots in Gujarat and Rajasthan. Historically, it was believed that mirrors ward off evil spirits—making them more than just decorative elements. These tiny, reflective pieces were sewn into fabrics and Jewelry as both spiritual and visual adornments.
Gamthi Fashion takes this legacy forward, blending traditional mirror artistry into contemporary statement pieces—necklaces, earrings, handcuffs, and hair accessories.
