Two records, one extraordinary creation

Named Mayura Sahasra — “A Thousand Peacocks” — the earrings take their inspiration from the peacock, India’s eternal symbol of grace, pride and divine beauty. Legend tells of a peacock that danced at the gates of heaven, shedding a thousand feathers, each carrying a different prayer, wish and dream, which the gods wove into something eternal. Every detail of the design echoes the plumage of a thousand peacocks, united in one timeless masterpiece.

The Gold jhumkas — the traditional bell-shaped earrings of South Asian bridal heritage — were hand-crafted over several months by Joyalukkas’ master artisans. The net gold weight of the combined pair of the 22k Gold earrings is 16.514 kg — more than five times the previous world record, both records were verified by Guinness World Records, they will be preserved as a complete pair and displayed permanently at Joyalukkas showroom.

Open to the public

The record-breaking earrings are now on permanent public display at Jewel of Joy by Joyalukkas, Dubai Gold District in the Middle East. Entry is free and open to all, during showroom hours (10 am to 10 pm), seven days a week.
