Antique Gold

An antique or mehendi finish is a deliberately darkened, matte gold plating rather than a bright polish. The recessed detail stays dark while the raised surfaces catch the light, which makes carved, layered, and temple-style designs read far more clearly — it is the finish associated with heirloom and South Indian jewellery.

Every piece in this collection is handcrafted in Sirini's own Mumbai workshop, founded by Nishit Savla in 2017. These are gold-plated fashion and imitation pieces over a brass or copper base — not solid gold, diamond, or precious metal. Antique-finish jewellery pairs naturally with silk sarees, Kanjeevarams, and traditional bridal wear.

About Antique Gold

What is Antique Gold?

An antique or "mehendi" finish is a deliberately darkened, matte gold plating rather than a bright polish. The recessed detail stays dark while raised surfaces catch the light, which makes carved and layered designs read more clearly — the look associated with heirloom and temple jewellery.

Is Antique Gold from Sirini real gold?

No. Every piece is 18–22K gold plating over a brass or copper base — fashion and imitation jewellery, not solid gold, diamond, or natural gemstones. We say this plainly on every product page because the look is meant to stand in for fine jewellery, not to be mistaken for it.

Where is it made?

In our own workshop in Santacruz West, Mumbai. Sirini Jewellery was founded in 2017 by Nishit Savla and manufactures its own pieces — stones are hand-set and each piece is checked before dispatch. You can also visit the Mumbai showroom in person.

How long does the gold plating last?

With regular wear and reasonable care, typically 1–3 years, and considerably longer for pieces worn only occasionally. Plating is a surface layer, so lifespan depends on wear: perfume, sweat, water and friction all wear it faster. Put jewellery on last, take it off first, and store pieces dry and separately. Plating and polish are covered by a 1-year warranty.

Is it suitable for weddings and daily wear?

Both, with a caveat. Our heavier bridal designs are built for occasion wear — weddings, sangeet, mehendi, receptions and festivals. Lighter pieces from Daily Wear are the ones we'd recommend for everyday use, since constant contact wears any plated finish faster than occasional wear does.

Does Sirini deliver across India?

Yes — we ship anywhere in India for a flat ₹379, typically arriving in 5–7 business days, with Cash on Delivery available. We currently do not ship internationally. Defective pieces are covered by a 7-day exchange.
