Astonished Ruby Kundan Hathphool | Mehendi Finish

The Astonished Ruby Kundan Hathphool in a mehendi finish is a hand harness — a central ruby-Kundan motif linked by chains to a wrist bracelet and a single finger ring, all in warm matte gold.

It is made by hand at Sirini's workshop in Santacruz West, Mumbai, and finished in a warm mehendi-gold tone rather than a bright polish.

Details

• Materials: 18–22K gold plating over a brass base, hand-set ruby-red Kundan stones — fashion and imitation jewellery, not solid gold or real rubies
• Made in: Sirini's workshop, Santacruz West, Mumbai
• Fit: a bracelet, connecting chains and finger ring(s), all on adjustable links
• Best for: mehendi, haldi and sangeet, and bridesmaid wear

How to wear it

Wear it on the mehendi hand so the ruby shows against the henna. The warm gold pairs with antique bangles on the same wrist and a matching ruby maang tikka; keep the other hand to one ring.

Care

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