Emerald Sheeshpatti – 22K Gold-Plated

The Emerald Sheeshpatti is a sheesh patti from Sirini Jewellery. The sheesh patti (or sheeshphool) runs along the hairline from ear to ear, framing the forehead above the maang tikka. It is a heavy-bridal piece, worn on the wedding day itself.

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

Details

• Materials: 18–22K gold plating over a brass base, with hand-set Kundan stones — fashion/imitation jewellery, not solid gold or precious stones
• Made in: Sirini's workshop, Santacruz West, Mumbai
• Best for: the wedding day and reception

How to wear it

Pin it along the hairline with the maang tikka chain running through the centre. Because it fills the forehead, keep earrings to a chandbali or stud rather than a long jhumka.

Care

Keep away from water, perfume and sweat — moisture can get behind the Kundan foil and dull 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.
