Jota

24 products

A jota is a pair of traditional anklets — payal — worn together, one on each foot, rather than as a single anklet. The pairing matters in Indian bridal dressing: a matched pair frames the feet the way bangles frame the wrists, and many designs carry ghungroo bells so the anklets are heard as well as seen. They are worn most at weddings, sangeet and festivals, and by brides through the ceremony.

Sirini's jota are handcrafted in our own Santacruz West workshop in Mumbai, in gold-plated Kundan and Meenakari work over a brass or copper base — fashion and imitation jewellery, not solid gold or silver. See also Anklets for the full payal range.

Shipping is Rs 200 anywhere in India and free on orders of Rs 2,999 and above, with Cash on Delivery on eligible orders (a Rs 50 COD fee applies), and Sirini also ships to 28 countries abroad for a flat Rs 1,400. Defective, damaged or wrong items can be exchanged within 7 days.

About Jota

What is a jota?

Jota, also spelt jodi, is a matching pair of anklets sold together as one set. This collection lists paired payal sets, 24 designs in all.

What is the difference between a payal and an anklet?

Payal is the Indian word for an anklet, and many payals carry ghungroo bells. Our payal and anklet guide covers sizing, how to wear them and how to care for them.

Is Sirini jewellery 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.

Is this jewellery 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 and internationally?

Yes — we ship anywhere in India for ₹200, and free on orders of ₹2,999 and above, typically arriving in 5–7 business days, with Cash on Delivery available on eligible orders (a ₹50 COD fee is added at checkout).
