The Kada: More Than Just a Bracelet - A Personal Journey The Kada: More Than Just a Bracelet - A Personal Journey I've always been fascinated by jewelry, especially pieces with a story. I remember being a kid and seeing people wearing a steel bracelet, a Kada, and automatically assuming they were Sikh. It wasn't until I got older that I realized there was so much more to it. I began to wonder, what about everyone else? What does it mean when someone who *isn't* Sikh wears one? What's the story behind it? My Initial Confusion and Quest for Understanding My initial understanding was pretty narrow. I thought the Kada was exclusively a Sikh symbol, representing their connection to the Khalsa.

Gold Chains: Real vs. Fake - A Practical Guide Gold Chains: Real vs. Fake - A Practical Guide Okay, let's talk about gold chains! I recently fell down the rabbit hole of chain styles and quality. I started wondering, like many others, what truly separates a super cheap gold chain, the kind you see all over online marketplaces, from a more expensive one you'd find at a reputable jeweler.
