A Bajuband is an armlet which is known as Vanki in the land of Maharashtra. It is one of the staples and essential jewellery pieces in a bride's or a married woman's trousseau and jewellery box. It can also be an heirloom piece passed down from one generation to another. The Vanki or the Maharashtrian Bajuband is special for its peculiar shape which easily stays put in its place once worn. The inverted V or U shaped armlet is adorned with pearls and beautiful coloured gemstones and crystals.
