Antique Kada

A single broad kada in an antique gold finish — the darkened plating that settles into carved detail and makes the metalwork read as older than it is. Worn one to a wrist, or as the anchor at the base of a bangle stack.

Handcrafted in Sirini's own Mumbai workshop, with stones hand-set by hand in the Kundan technique and foil worked in behind each one.

Details

• Materials: 18–22K gold plating over a brass base in an antique finish, with hand-set Kundan stones — fashion/imitation jewellery, not solid gold or precious stones
• Made in: Sirini's workshop, Santacruz West, Mumbai
• Best for: weddings, sangeet, Diwali and Navratri, festive daywear

How to wear it

An antique-finish kada pairs best with other antique-toned pieces — a maang tikka or long set in the same darkened gold. Stack it with lighter bangles on the same wrist, heaviest piece closest to the hand.

Care

Keep away from water, perfume and sweat — moisture behind the Kundan foil dulls it permanently. Put jewellery on last and take it off first, wipe with a dry soft cloth only, and store in a pouch away from other pieces. Plating and polish are covered by a 1-year warranty.
