42-year-old Pakistani Talat Zahid said, "Whatever the fashion trends when we attend any event and wear any outfit it feels incomplete without bangles", as it adds to her outfit that includes beads, stitching, and embroidery. She also said that even if you don't wear jewelry, a bangle would still complete an outfit.

According to AFP, more than a dozen of people work on just one bangle showing the difficulty and craftsmanship required to make this kind of jewelry. The bangles could be made by factories full of designers or a simple household with a passion for creating such things by using their hands.

With Ramadan ending, markets across Pakistan are met with beautifully crafted bangles which are handmade as women are seen haggling with the vendors to cop the best price possible similar to many markets across the world including China, India and many more.

They are often sold as a dozen for 150 rupees (Approximately 50 cents) but go up in price after the addition of stones and silk which raises it up 1,000 rupees.

Making these stunning bangles doesn't come easy, especially Hyderabad's "churi" glass bangles as they could snap at any moment if not careful. Workers are constantly exposed to high temperatures and unregulated safety measures with power cuts happening often.
