Ruby Royale Kundan Bridal Kalira

The Ruby Royale Kundan Bridal Kalira is set in ruby-red Kundan in a rich, regal bridal design. Kaliras are the dome-shaped danglers tied to the bride's bangles at the chooda ceremony, traditionally by unmarried sisters and friends, and they hang from the wrist and chime as the hand moves.

Handcrafted in Sirini's own Mumbai workshop — the stones are hand-set in the Kundan technique, each set in a resin base.

Details

• Materials: 18–22K gold plating over a brass base, with hand-set Kundan stones — crafted as fine fashion jewellery, not fine/solid gold jewellery
• Made in: Sirini's workshop, Santacruz West, Mumbai
• 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 or both on the dominant hand. They are meant to be seen from above during the ceremony, so keep sleeves clear of the wrist.

Care

A kalira spends the whole ceremony swinging and being shaken over guests, so check the tie is secure before the event rather than after. Keep it dry, wipe with a soft cloth, and store it in its own pouch.
