Junbiri Set with Red Stone

The Jonbiri is the most iconic of all traditional Assamese ornaments — a crescent-moon shaped pendant that has adorned Assamese women for centuries. Each piece is handcrafted in pure silver or gold-plated silver, with delicate filigree work running along the curve of the crescent and a small drop or stone at the tip. The smooth, slightly tapered crescent rests beautifully against the collarbone when strung on a simple silver chain or red mekhela cord. Traditionally worn as both a pendant and as earrings, the Jonbiri is a piece that finishes any Assamese outfit — equally at home with a Bihu mekhela sador, modern silk saree or a contemporary kurta.
