Eid Noor Mehendi Polish Passa - Ruby Pearl Bridal Hair Accessory

The Eid Noor Mehendi Polish Passa - Ruby Pearl Bridal Hair Accessory is a bridal passa — a broad fanned piece of ruby-red stones pinned high on one side of the head, where it catches the light each time you turn.

Built in Sirini’s own Mumbai workshop — the stones are set by hand and the finish worked in afterwards.

Details

• Materials: an antiqued green-gold mehendi finish, with hand-set Kundan and polki stones — fashion and imitation jewellery, not solid gold, diamonds or precious stones
• Made in: Sirini’s workshop, Santacruz West, Mumbai
• Fit: hook-and-pin fastening, worn on one side of the head
• Best for: the wedding day, reception and sangeet, festive pujas and family functions

How to wear it

Pin it above the ear on the side the hair is parted towards, with a small maang tikka on the parting. Keep the earring on that side modest so the face is not crowded.

Care

Water, perfume and sweat are what wear a plated finish fastest — put the piece on last, take it off first, and wipe it only with a dry soft cloth. The fanned tips catch on hair and fabric — handle it gently. Store it flat in its own pouch. Plating and polish are covered by a 1-year warranty.
