Imperial Pearl Drop Kalira

The Imperial Pearl Drop Kalira is a bridal kalira from Sirini Jewellery in clear Kundan with imitation-pearl drops below the dome. Kaliras are the dome-shaped danglers tied to the bride's bangles at the chooda ceremony, traditionally by unmarried sisters and friends. They hang from the wrist and chime as the hand moves.

Handcrafted at Sirini's own workshop in Santacruz West, Mumbai — the dome is stone-set by hand and each pearl drop is strung and balanced so the kalira hangs evenly.

Details

• Materials: 18–22K gold plating over a brass base, with hand-set Kundan stones and shell or glass pearls — fashion and imitation jewellery, not solid gold, natural pearls, or precious stones
• Made in: Sirini's workshop, Santacruz West, Mumbai
• Fit: clips or ties onto a bangle or chooda; sold singly or as a pair
• Best for: the chooda ceremony, the wedding day, and mehendi

How to wear it

Tie them onto a red or white chooda or bangle stack, one to each wrist or both on the dominant hand. Pearl drops read softer than stone ones — they suit an ivory or pastel lehenga.

Care

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