Yencho is a type of earring that originates from Bhutan and is mostly worn by Bhutia women. They are traditionally flat and circular. These earrings are symbolic and convey meaningful messages like grace, elegance, and good fortune.
Khao pendant represents the faith of the Bhutanese people and symbolises the abstract representation of a mandala (meaning the circle of life). The pendant shape, whether circular or rectangular, symbolises the religious beliefs of Bhutia tribes.
Head ornaments called ‘Kilips’ or a clip are traditional bridal adornments. These are exquisite pieces that are crafted from gold and feature intricate nature-inspired designs, typically in the form of moon cycles – a full moon or crescent shapes, which is a particularly favoured motif. Designs etched or carved on the Kilip are nature-centric and the different shapes and designs are true renditions of Sikkimese symbolism
