Hyderabad

Laad Bazaar runs straight out from the Charminar, a kilometre of bangles, pearls and stone-set drops that has dressed Hyderabadi brides since the Nizams.

Market tip
Roll two pearls together — good ones look alike from every side.

What our buyers look for

  • Pearls with an even, soft lustre
  • Coins and discs that are crisply stamped
  • Drops that hang straight, not twisted
  • Sets that can be worn separately

Hyderabad is pearl city, so this is where our pearl pieces come from — drops, studs and the coin-and-pearl sets that look like they were made for a nikaah but work just as well with a linen shirt.

We hunt for the classics, then pick the versions that feel current: one pearl instead of five, coins that catch the light without clinking, sets you can wear in pieces.

Come for the bangles, stay for the pearls. We always do.
