Green Blossom Maang Tikka

This Green Blossom Maang Tikka is a flower-shaped pendant of green Kundan petals around a clear centre, on a fine gold parting chain.

It is made by hand at Sirini's own workshop in Santacruz West, Mumbai, where every stone is set over foil in the Kundan way so it sits flat and mirror-bright.

Details

• Materials: 18–22K gold plating over a brass base, hand-set green Kundan stones — fashion and imitation jewellery, not solid gold or real emeralds
• Made in: Sirini's workshop, Santacruz West, Mumbai
• Fit: hook fastens into the hair at the parting; adjustable chain
• Best for: weddings, receptions, and sangeet

How to wear it

Sit the flower at the centre of your hairline and pin the chain flat along the parting. The green calls for a red, gold or white outfit; match it to a green nath or green jhumkis.

Care

Fix the hook into your hair, not onto the skin, and keep it away from hairspray, water, perfume and sweat. Put it on last and take it off first, wipe with a dry soft cloth, and store it flat so the chain does not tangle. Plating and polish are covered by a 1-year warranty.
