Explanation:

Metaphor :-

A metaphor is a poetic device in which a word/ phrase denoting one kind of object is used in place of another so as to establish a relationship between the two.

For example :-

• You're a rose

Here, rose depicts beauty so this sentence means that you're beautiful.

• You're a peach

Here, peach denotes kindness so this means that you're pleasing and kind.

In the Extract :-

Shining loads

Shining loads mean bangles that are in large amount and thus the bangle sellers find them heavy.

Rainbow-tinted circles of light?

Here, this phrase "Rainbow-tinted circles of light? " has been used in place of multicolored bangles(rainbow-tinted) which reflect light and hence the term 'circles of light'.

Lustrous tokens of radiant lives,

Lustrous meaning bright, tokens meaning symbols, and radiant lives mean bright and happy lives.

So this sentence means that the bangles are bright and bring brightness(happiness) into the lives of the women who will wear them.
