Two Guinness World Records were set by a pair of oversized gold jhumkas created by Joyalukkas Jewellery in Dubai. The earrings, named Mayura Sahasra, weigh over 16 kilograms and consist of 22-carat gold. The earrings, which measure 1.215 metres in length and 0.682 metres in diameter, earned recognition for being both the heaviest pair of gold earrings and the largest pair of gold earrings in the world.

The creation process involved a team of 55 skilled artisans who worked a combined 5,840 hours on the intricate design. Inspired by the peacock, a symbol of elegance and beauty in India, the earrings maintain the traditional bell-shaped structure of South Asian jhumkas while featuring elaborate peacock-themed detailing. Joyalukkas CEO John Paul Alukkas revealed that Dubai's established reputation as a gold shopping destination made it the ideal location for the unveiling of the record-breaking earrings.
