Maharani Ruby Grace Kalira, Bridal Ruby Kundan Dome, Single or Pair

The Maharani Ruby Grace Kalira is a bridal kalira from Sirini Jewellery in ruby-red Kundan in a broad, heavy 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 drop is strung and balanced so the kalira hangs evenly.

Details

• Materials: 18–22K gold plating over a brass base, with hand-set ruby Kundan and glass stones — crafted as fine fashion jewellery, not fine/solid gold jewellery
• 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 kalira to each wrist. A broad heavy dome in ruby matches a red lehenga directly — wear it with a plain chooda so it leads.

Care

A broad, heavy dome like this puts more strain on its tie than a lighter kalira, so check the knot periodically through a long ceremony. Wipe with a dry soft cloth and store it in its own pouch.
