Some pieces of jewelry aren’t just accessories - they are legacies. The Bugadi, a stunning symbol of Maharashtrian elegance, has adorned women’s ears for generations. But today, this traditional piece is stepping into the spotlight once again - this time, as a chic and versatile accessory that fits every mood, outfit, and era.

At Quirksmith, we have redefined the Maharashtrian Bugadi for the modern woman - a fusion of timeless craft and contemporary flair. Whether you love traditional charm or modern minimalism, our Bugadi jewellery collection lets you express yourself with confidence, creativity, and cultural pride.    
✨ The Legacy of the Bugadi
The Bugadi holds a special place in Maharashtrian heritage - traditionally worn on the upper ear, or the helix piercing, as a mark of beauty and grace. Crafted in silver or gold and often embellished with pearls or stones, it’s a piece that symbolizes refinement and tradition.
At Quirksmith, every Bugadi tells a story - handcrafted by artisans who pour soul into silver, keeping the ancient art alive while making it relevant for the world today.

💫 Styling Your Bugadi: Traditional & Modern Ways
No matter your vibe, the Bugadi can be styled to complement every look - from sarees to streetwear. Here’s how you can make your helix ear piercing stand out beautifully:
1. Traditional Elegance
Pair your Maharashtrian Bugadi with a classic nauvari saree, bold bindi, and kohl-rimmed eyes. The shimmer of silver or the gleam of pearls adds an ethereal touch to festive looks. Perfect for weddings, cultural events, or family gatherings - it’s tradition, celebrated your way.

2. Daily Wear Charm
Keep it simple yet stunning. A minimalist helix drop earring or a delicate silver Bugadi pairs effortlessly with your everyday wardrobe - think Kurtis, jeans, or even your workwear. It’s that subtle sparkle that makes you feel a little more “you” every day.

3. Casual & Boho
For those who love to experiment, layer your Bugadi jewellery with ear cuffs and studs. Mix metals, textures, and shapes to create a statement ear stack that’s full of personality. Your helix piercing becomes your canvas - bold, expressive, and completely unique.

4. Experimental Edge
Who said tradition can’t be edgy? Try asymmetrical helix drop earrings, geometric Bugadis, or oxidized silver finishes for a powerful fusion look. Whether it’s a concert, a brunch, or a photo shoot - this style screams individuality with a hint of rebellion.
