What is Sirini Jewellery?
Sirini Jewellery is a Mumbai-based jewellery brand, handcrafted in our own workshop in Santacruz West since 2017. We design and make Kundan, Meenakari, bridal and gold-plated fashion jewellery — sold online across India and from our retail store in Santacruz West, Mumbai.
Where is Sirini Jewellery located?
Our workshop and retail store are in Santacruz West, Mumbai (Hi Life Mall, Phirozshah Mehta Road, Santacruz West, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400054). Online orders ship anywhere in India and to 28 other countries — see the shipping questions below for details.
Can I visit the Sirini showroom, and what are the opening hours?
Yes. The showroom is at Hi Life Mall, Phirozshah Mehta Road, Santacruz West, Mumbai, open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and closed on Sundays. No appointment is needed. For bridal sets it helps to message us on WhatsApp at +91 98331 14467 beforehand so the relevant range is ready. See the Mumbai store page for directions.
Does Sirini manufacture its own jewellery, or resell imported pieces?
We manufacture. Every Sirini piece starts on the workbench of our own Mumbai workshop — the Kundan settings and Meenakari enamel work are done in-house, not mass-imported.
Is Sirini jewellery made of real gold?
No — Sirini pieces are high-quality gold-plated fashion jewellery. The base metal is brass or copper, coated with 18–22K gold plating. They are not solid gold, but are crafted to look and feel luxurious at an accessible price.
What is Kundan jewellery?
Kundan is a traditional Indian jewellery technique where flat-backed glass or synthetic stones are set into gold-toned mounts using a lac (resin) base, rather than claw-set the way diamonds usually are. It produces the layered, richly detailed look associated with Indian bridal and festive jewellery. Sirini's Kundan pieces use this setting style in gold-plated fashion jewellery, not precious stones or solid gold.
What is Meenakari jewellery?
Meenakari is the art of hand-painting or firing coloured enamel onto metal jewellery, usually on the reverse side of a piece or worked into the design alongside Kundan stonework. It's a centuries-old Indian craft traditionally paired with Kundan, giving pieces their characteristic pops of colour. Sirini's Meenakari pieces are hand-finished in our Mumbai workshop.
What is the difference between Kundan and Polki jewellery?
Both use a similar flat-set, lac-backed mounting style, but the stones are different: Polki uses uncut natural diamonds, making it fine/precious jewellery. In modern fashion jewellery — including Sirini's collection — "Kundan" refers to that same setting style using glass or synthetic stones instead. Sirini specialises in Kundan-style gold-plated fashion jewellery, not Polki or other precious-stone jewellery.
What is the difference between Kundan, Polki and Jadau?
Jadau is the umbrella craft: setting stones into a metal base using foil rather than prongs. Kundan and Polki both sit under it. Polki refers to the stone — uncut, unfaceted natural diamond slices, which makes genuine Polki expensive. Kundan refers to the setting technique itself, and the stones set with it can be glass, quartz or other coloured stones, so a Kundan piece can be an heirloom or an affordable fashion piece. Sirini works in the Kundan style with glass and coloured stones over gold-plated brass or copper — fashion jewellery, not diamond Polki or Jadau fine jewellery. Our complete guide to Kundan jewellery explains the three in more detail.
What is a passa, and does Sirini sell it?
A passa (also spelt pasa or paasa) is the bridal side headpiece worn on one side of the head, pinned at the hairline and swept toward the ear, often paired with a maang tikka. Yes, Sirini makes Kundan and Polki-style passa in gold-plated brass or copper. Browse the passa collection.
Does Sirini sell jewellery for the groom?
Yes. Sirini makes kalgi (the plume brooch pinned to the safa or turban) and groom malas to go with a sherwani, in gold-plated Kundan and Polki-style finishes. See the groom accessories, kalgi and groom mala collections.
Does Sirini sell thushi or gadi thushi?
No. Thushi and gadi thushi, the traditional Maharashtrian choker, are not part of Sirini's range. Our closest pieces are Kundan chokers and pearl and moti sets. Our guide Gadi Thushi: the Maharashtrian choker explained covers what to look for.
Does Sirini sell moissanite or real diamond jewellery?
No. Sirini sells gold-plated imitation jewellery in Kundan, Meenakari and Polki styles, not moissanite, real diamond or solid gold jewellery. Our guide Imitation, moissanite and real diamond jewellery: what is the difference? explains the three.
How long does the gold plating last?
With proper care, the gold plating on Sirini jewellery typically lasts 1–3 years with regular wear, and considerably longer for pieces worn occasionally. Avoid contact with water, perfume, sweat and harsh chemicals to maximise the life of the plating.
How do I care for my Sirini jewellery?
Put your jewellery on last — after makeup, perfume and lotion have dried — and take it off first when you return home. Keep pieces away from water, sweat and chemicals. After wearing, gently wipe each piece with a soft dry microfibre cloth. Store in the pouch or box provided, separately from other jewellery to avoid scratches.
Are Kundan and Meenakari pieces suitable for daily wear?
Kundan and Meenakari pieces, with their intricate stone settings and enamel work, are best reserved for festive and occasional wear to keep them looking their best. Our simpler gold-plated bangles, rings and stud earrings are better suited to daily wear.
Will the jewellery tarnish or turn my skin green?
Gold-plated fashion jewellery can tarnish over time if exposed to water, sweat, perfume and humidity — that's normal for the category, not a defect. To keep pieces bright and avoid any skin discolouration, wear them last, take them off before washing or sleeping, wipe with a soft dry cloth after use, and store them in the pouch provided away from moisture.
Is Sirini jewellery safe for sensitive skin?
We do not claim our pieces are hypoallergenic or nickel-free. They are gold plating over a brass or copper base, and everyone's skin is different. If you have a known metal allergy, message us on WhatsApp at +91 98331 14467 before you order, because we do not accept change-of-mind returns. Keeping pieces dry also helps, since moisture and sweat are the main triggers for irritation.
Do the jewellery pieces look exactly like the photos?
We photograph every piece under natural light to show the most accurate colour and detail. Slight variations in stone shade or finish may occur, as these are handcrafted pieces — this is what makes each one unique. If you have any concerns after receiving your order, contact us and we will make it right.
How do I find the right ring or bangle size?
Each product page includes a size guide. For rings, wrap a thin strip of paper around your finger, mark where it overlaps, and measure the length in millimetres — that is your circumference. For bangles, measure around the widest part of your hand (knuckles) when folded. If you are between sizes, size up for bangles.
What is the price range of Sirini jewellery?
Prices depend on the piece and are shown on each product page. As a guide, prices start below ₹1,000, roughly half of the catalogue is under ₹5,000, and most pieces are under ₹10,000, with the remainder priced above that. Shipping across India is ₹200, and free on orders of ₹2,999 and above.
Do you offer free shipping across India?
Yes — orders of ₹2,999 and above ship free across India. Below ₹2,999, a ₹200 shipping fee applies. We deliver to all serviceable pin codes across India.
How long does delivery take?
