A slim kada built from a row of round stone settings, each one ringed with a fine beaded border, running the full length of the band. It opens on a screw mechanism, so it goes over the hand rather than sliding on.
Every stone sits in its own raised collet with a beaded edge, which lifts the stones clear of the band and lets light under them. The band between the settings is left plain, so the row of stones reads as a line of separate points rather than a solid strip.
Slim enough to wear two or three together, or beside a watch. One on each wrist is the usual way with a saree.
Daily wear, office days, small pujas and as a stacking piece with heavier bangles.
The screw opening takes a few seconds to work the first time; after that it is quick. Keep the screw clean and do not force it, since that is the one part of the piece that can be damaged. Worn alone it reads as a daily bangle, and in a stack of three it reads as festive.
The screw opening is the practical part of this design. A closed bangle has to clear the widest part of the hand, which rules it out for many people; this one opens, goes on and screws shut, so the fit is set by the wrist rather than by the knuckles.
Because the band is slim, the piece is light enough to forget about during the day. That is the argument for buying two: a single slim kada can look lost on the wrist, while a pair holds its own against a sleeve.
Among the bangles in this batch this is the slimmest, which makes it the most practical for an office or a working day. It fits under a shirt sleeve without catching, which the broad kada beside it does not, and it is the one to choose if you expect to wear it more than a few times a year.
An easy gift for a colleague or a cousin, because the screw opening means you do not need to know her bangle size. More in our kada collection.
This is brass with a bright silver-tone plating rather than solid or sterling silver, which is what keeps the price where it is. Plating is a surface rather than a bulk property, so how long it lasts depends almost entirely on what it meets — perfume, hairspray and sweat all shorten it, while a dry cloth after wearing and a closed pouch between wearings extend it considerably.
Put this on after perfume, hairspray and hand cream, and take it off before washing, swimming or sleeping. Wipe with a dry soft cloth and use a dry soft brush around the stone settings and between any pearls, where a cloth cannot reach. Store it in a zip-lock pouch — the single most effective thing for a plated piece, because it keeps humid air off the metal. Never use silver polish, dip cleaners or an ultrasonic cleaner.
