Teej Kundan Jhumkis

The Teej Kundan Jhumkis pair a small Kundan-set top with a plain domed gold bell below — a light everyday jhumki that gives you the shape and the swing without the weight of a bridal pair.

Made by hand at Sirini's workshop in Santacruz West, Mumbai. The bell is spun and then closed by hand, and the Kundan top is foil-set so it catches lamplight at the aarti.

Details

• Materials: 18–22K gold plating over a brass base, hand-set Kundan stones — fashion and imitation jewellery, not solid gold, diamonds, or precious stones
• Made in: Sirini's workshop, Santacruz West, Mumbai
• Fit: pierced ears, post and butterfly back, short drop, sold as a pair
• Best for: Teej, Hariyali and Sawan pujas, and festive gatherings that run long; green, red and gold outfits especially

How to wear it

Keep the rest simple so the swing stands out — a thin chain or a single mangalsutra, and bare wrists or one kada. Hair half-up lets the bell show.

Care

Keep it away from water, perfume and sweat, put it on last and take it off first, and wipe it with a dry soft cloth before storing it apart from your other pieces. The bell picks up scent and hair oil where it brushes the neck, so wipe the inside of the dome too. Plating and polish are covered by a 1-year warranty.
