Puja Exclusive Kundan Choodiyan

The Puja Exclusive Kundan Choodiyan is a pair of hinged choodi-style bangles — one band an open gold filigree lattice, the other set with a row of oval Kundan stones edged in seed pearls, closing on a small red-enamel clasp.

Handcrafted in Sirini's own Mumbai workshop — the lattice is pierced and finished by hand, the Kundan stones are hand-set, each in a resin base, and the seed-pearl trim is strung by hand.

Details

• Materials: 18–22K gold plating over a brass base, with hand-set Kundan stones, seed pearls and a fired red-enamel clasp detail — crafted as fine fashion jewellery, not fine/solid gold jewellery
• Made in: Sirini's workshop, Santacruz West, Mumbai
• Best for: puja and religious ceremonies, weddings, Karva Chauth, occasions calling for a paired choodi rather than a full stack

How to wear it

Being hinged, both bangles open and close rather than sliding over the hand, so they suit a snugger fit than a slip-on bangle — check your bangle size at checkout. Worn as the pair they're sold in, they don't need a full stack around them; one or two plain gold bangles alongside is enough.

Care

Keep away from water, perfume and sweat — moisture behind the Kundan setting dulls it permanently, and the hinge mechanism should be kept dry so it doesn't stiffen. Put jewellery on last and take it off first, wipe with a dry soft cloth, and store separately.
