Ruby Kundan Maang Tikka With Ruby Bead Hanging | Mehendi Finish

The Ruby Kundan Maang Tikka With Ruby Bead Hanging is a maang tikka from Sirini Jewellery in ruby-red Kundan on a mehendi (antiqued green-gold) finish, with a single ruby bead swinging at the base of the pendant. It hangs on a chain along the hair parting, with a hook that anchors into the hair and a pendant that rests on the forehead.

Handcrafted in Sirini's own Mumbai workshop — the stones are hand-set in the Kundan technique, each set in a resin base and the bead strung by hand below the pendant.

Details

How to wear it

Hook it into the hair at the crown so the pendant sits centred on the parting, just above the browline. Pair with a choker or a necklace set in the same stone colour; add a passa at the side for a fuller bridal look.

Care

Keep away from water, perfume and sweat — moisture can get behind the Kundan setting and dull it permanently. The pendant sits close to the skin at the hairline, so let any face cream or sunscreen dry fully before hooking it in. Wipe with a dry cloth after wear and store it flat in its pouch.
