Sirini Exclusive Bridal Sheeshphool

The Sirini Exclusive Bridal Sheeshphool is a sheesh patti: a flat strip set with gold-toned Kundan stones that lies along the parting, hooked into the hair on both sides, with a small pendant dropping onto the forehead.

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

Details

• Materials: 18-22K gold plating over a brass base, 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: hooks into the hair on both sides of the parting
• Best for: the wedding day, reception and sangeet

How to wear it

Part the hair cleanly down the centre and hook the ends into the hair on each side. It replaces the maang tikka — add small jhumkis and a close choker.

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 forehead pendant scratches if it rubs — pouch it separately. Store it flat in its own pouch. Plating and polish are covered by a 1-year warranty.
