Handcrafted Lambani Tribal Craft Jewellery - Lal Chinha

Handcrafted Lambani Tribal Craft Jewellery - Lal Chinha. A minimalistic neckpiece that strikes a fine balance between bohemian flair and traditional allure. Crafted in hand-polished white metal, the delicate teardrop granules are beautifully offset by red and black threadwork—offering a rustic elegance that seamlessly blends heirloom sentiment with contemporary edge. Lambanis, traditionally a nomadic community from Karnataka, are celebrated for their distinctive textile art, embroidery, and jewellery-making traditions. Their craft is rich in symbolism, colour, and detail. From mirror-work and patchwork textiles to handcrafted silver jewellery, their creation carries their migratory past and spiritual beliefs. Historically traders and transporters, Lambanis developed a unique aesthetic using craft as a form of identity and preservation. Today, their artistry, especially among the women, is a living archive of folklore, nature, and heritage, passed down through generations and kept alive through community-based artisan clusters.
