Re: Is there a name for this type of bangle/cuff?

It's a bai. I also have a bhai but it's not so big. And the mine isn't with beads/stones....full golden bai.....Mashallah it's really very beautiful....I don't like the bai in the pic..it's just to big.....I think the mine is about the half of this bai...

Re: Is there a name for this type of bangle/cuff?

It's called a Baai. There's no "h" in the word, so it's not "Bhai" as that would mean "brother." It's Baai.

Re: Is there a name for this type of bangle/cuff?

ahh okay! Yeah I know this one's really long for some reason, I couldn't find any other picture but I think the gold ones are soo beautiful and ones with pearl strands are really pretty as well. <3 Did any of you or do you plan to wear one for your wedding/valima? If I don't end up with too much churiyan and kada bangles, I'm considering getting one of these!

Re: Is there a name for this type of bangle/cuff?

It's also called a kalai.

Re: Is there a name for this type of bangle/cuff?

its called a baai. I made one for my wedding (which was 2 weeks ago :)!!!). It is not as big as the one in the picture, but its a half cuff (covers the top of the arm), and then the rest are pearl strands. I love it! I wore it on my barat day, cause my lehnga was white that day, so the pearls went perfect with it!

Re: Is there a name for this type of bangle/cuff?

it’s lovely. :wub:

Re: Is there a name for this type of bangle/cuff?

The one in the picture is really big, and you cant see the whole thing, but baai's are actually very traditional and very pretty.
