Side ear chains, or mattal, provide support for heavier jhumka and long earrings by attaching to the hair. DAR Jewellery's collection is made using genuine hallmark gold. This support prevents heavier earrings from pulling on the earlobe over long wear. https://www.darjewellery.com/gold-jewellery/women/earring-accessories?f=subitem_name:SIDE%20EAR%20CHAIN%20(MATTAL)&sort=latest
