Meenakari Jewellery

35 products

Meenakari jewellery is jewellery decorated with coloured enamel that is painted and fired onto metal. At Sirini it is gold-plated imitation jewellery over brass or copper, often paired with Kundan or Polki-style stones, from Rs 600 for jhumkis to Rs 18,560 for a Navratri choodiyan set.

Meenakari is a centuries-old Indian enamelling technique — coloured glass-like enamel is fused onto a metal base by hand, then fired, to create the deep jewel-toned patterns (often floral or paisley) you see on the reverse or edges of a piece. At Sirini, Meenakari fashion jewellery is hand-painted onto a gold-plated brass base, not solid gold, and is usually paired with Kundan stone-setting on the front for a two-technique piece.

Every piece in this collection is handcrafted in our own Mumbai workshop, founded by Nishit Savla in 2017. Meenakari work is more time-intensive than plain stone-setting, since each colour is applied and fired in stages. The range covers about 35 pieces: sheesh pattis and maang tikkas for the hair, jhumkis and Kundan-Meenakari earrings, finger rings, pendant sets and a choker set, plus a statement bangle set (choodiyan) — designed for weddings, sangeet and festive occasions.

About Meenakari

Is Meenakari the same as Kundan?

No. Kundan is a stone-setting technique, while Meenakari is coloured enamel applied to metal. Many Sirini pieces combine the two, for example Kundan stones with Meenakari panels, and this collection has 35 designs.

How should I store Meenakari jewellery?

Meenakari enamel is glass and can chip on impact, so keep each piece in its own pouch rather than loose with other jewellery. Keep it away from water and perfume as well.

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).

If a piece arrives defective, damaged or wrong, contact us within 7 days of delivery with your order number and photos and we will exchange 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.
