The kalgi is the plume-style brooch pinned to the groom's safa or turban, and a mark of the wedding-day sherwani look. It is set with stones and often a pearl drop, and sits at the front of the turban.
Sirini's kalgi jewellery is handcrafted in our own Mumbai workshop in Kundan stone-setting over a gold-plated brass or copper base — fashion and imitation jewellery, not solid gold. Many pair with a groom mala in matching stones.
Choose a kalgi that matches the colour of the safa and the sherwani buttons, and pin it centrally so it sits upright. See the full groom accessories range too. 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.

What is a kalgi brooch?
A kalgi (also spelled kalangi or kilangi, and often called a safa brooch or pagdi kalgi) is the plume-style ornament a groom pins to the front of his safa or turban. Sirini's kalgi are handcrafted in Mumbai in Kundan and Polki-style stone-setting over a gold-plated brass or copper base, and many have pearl drops. They are fashion and imitation jewellery, not real gold or diamonds.

How do I wear a kalgi on a safa?

About Kalgi Jewellery
What is a kalgi?
A kalgi is a groom's turban or safa ornament, usually a decorative brooch with a plume. It is part of a traditional groom's look.
What goes with a kalgi?
A groom mala and brooch in the same finish work well with a kalgi. See the groom accessories and groom mala collections.
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 Sirini jewellery 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 on Sirini jewellery 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, packed in 1–2 business days and typically arriving 5–8 business days after dispatch, with Cash on Delivery available on eligible orders (a ₹50 COD fee is added at checkout). We also ship to 28 countries, including the UAE, UK, USA, Canada, Australia and Singapore, for a flat ₹1,400 per order shown at checkout. Defective pieces are covered by a 7-day replacement.
Can I get a refund or replacement for Sirini jewellery?
Sirini does not offer refunds or accept change-of-mind returns. If a piece arrives defective, damaged or wrong, contact us within 7 days of delivery with your order number and photos and we will replace it free, replacement shipping included. The item has to be unused, unworn and in its original packaging with tags attached. Cash on Delivery orders refused at the doorstep are not eligible for a refund of shipping charges. Full terms are on the refund & replacement policy.
