Maangtika

The maang tikka hangs on a chain along the hair parting, with a hook that anchors into the hair and a pendant that rests on the forehead. It is the piece that frames the face in almost every Indian bridal and festive look, and it is worn alongside — not instead of — a sheesh patti or a side passa.

Sirini's maang tikkas are handcrafted in our own Mumbai workshop, founded by Nishit Savla in 2017, over a gold-plated brass or copper base — fashion and imitation jewellery, not solid gold, diamond or precious metal — in Kundan, Meenakari and antique-finish designs.

Hook it in at the crown so the pendant sits centred on the parting, just above the browline, and match the stone colour to your necklace set. All pieces ship across India with Cash on Delivery available.

About Maangtika

Is Maangtika 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.
