Dubai gold earrings weighing 16.514 kilograms have earned Joyalukkas two Guinness World Records, turning a traditional jewellery design into an extraordinary public attraction.
Named Mayura Sahasra, meaning “A Thousand Peacocks,” the handcrafted 22-carat gold jhumkas have been recognised as the heaviest pair of gold earrings and the largest pair of earrings. Joyalukkas unveiled the creation on October 24, 2026, at its Jewel of Joy showroom in Dubai Gold District, where visitors can see it free of charge.

Joyalukkas Gold Earrings Set Two Guinness World Records
The record-breaking creation brings together the familiar bell-shaped form of Indian jhumkas and dimensions rarely associated with earrings.
According to Joyalukkas, the pair has a combined net gold weight of 16.514 kilograms. The company lists a length of 1.215 metres and a diameter of 0.682 metres.
The two Guinness World Records titles are:
- Heaviest Pair of Gold Earrings.
- Largest Pair of Earrings.
The weight refers to both earrings together—not each individual piece.

Guinness World Records independently lists Joyalukkas Jewellery as the holder of the heaviest pair of gold earrings record, achieved in Dubai on October 12, 2026.
55 Artisans and 5,840 Working Hours Behind the Creation
The scale draws attention, but the craftsmanship gives the project its character.
Joyalukkas says 55 artisans contributed a combined 5,840 working hours to produce the earrings. These are accumulated working hours, not the number of consecutive hours or calendar days taken to complete the project.
The design preserves the traditional jhumka silhouette while using its enlarged surfaces for intricate decoration. Peacock-inspired details connect the finished work to its name, Mayura Sahasra.

What Does “Mayura Sahasra” Mean?
Mayura Sahasra translates to “A Thousand Peacocks.”
Joyalukkas describes the design as drawing inspiration from a creative story about a divine peacock whose thousand feathers carried prayers, wishes and dreams. That story forms part of the company’s artistic explanation for the piece, rather than a historical account.
The result is a large-scale showcase of jewellery-making techniques rooted in Indian ornament design.
Dubai Gold Earrings Unveiled on October 24
The public unveiling took place at Jewel of Joy by Joyalukkas in Dubai Gold District on October 24, 2026.
Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, the UAE’s Minister of Economy and Tourism, unveiled the creation. A Guinness representative also presented certificates recognising the two records.
The unveiling date should not be confused with the achievement date on the official Guinness entry. For the heaviest pair of gold earrings record, Guinness lists October 12, 2026.

How Much Are the Record-Breaking Gold Earrings Worth?
A confirmed market value, manufacturing cost or sale price has not been disclosed in the official information reviewed for this report.
Although the pair contains 16.514 kilograms of 22-carat gold, its metal content alone should not be presented as the value of the finished creation. The project also incorporates extensive design and craftsmanship.
The available announcements describe the earrings as a record-setting display. They do not establish that the pair is being offered for sale.
Joyalukkas’ Tribute to Dubai’s “City of Gold” Identity
Joyalukkas has described the creation as a tribute to Dubai, its craftspeople and the company’s nearly four-decade relationship with the city.
The project brings a different dimension to Dubai’s gold scene: not another jewellery collection, but a single creation designed to demonstrate what skilled artisans can achieve at an exceptional scale.
For visitors to Dubai Gold District, the attraction offers both spectacle and detail—two Guinness World Records in one display, with thousands of hours of craftsmanship behind the gold.
