The bling of bananas

Come festive season, people opt for the usual suspects — gold, silver, diamond. But in a world obsessed with these metals, C Shekar and his team of 19 women (in a self-help group, associated with the Natural Fibre cluster) paved the way for a unique style of adornment. “We used to use fibre extracted from bananas for textiles for the last decade but in the past year, we noticed a lot of waste and came up with the idea of jewellery created from this,” shares the craftsman. 

This lightweight alternative provides a silk-like sheen and is embellished to produce these creations. Earthy and traditional, with a sliver of glam, maybe this is the standout statement piece you need to spruce up your look?
