Gold Plated Fish Juda Pin with Ribbed Bodies and Fanned Tails

A sunburst of golden fish around the bun. Each fish on this juda pin has a ribbed body, a pointed head and a fanned tail, and they are set along the semicircular arch so the ones at the top point straight up, like rays.

Product Overview

Compared with our dense fish pin, the fish here are a little larger and more spaced, so each one is clearly visible and the pin has a lighter, radiating outline. Two twisted prongs hold it firmly. It weighs about 28 g.

Design Details

The fish is an auspicious symbol of abundance and good fortune, cherished in bridal jewellery across Bengal, Odisha and South India. Arranging the fish like rays turns the pin into a little golden sun behind the head.

Product Highlights

• Semicircular gold arch lined with gold fish with fanned tails
• Two twisted prongs that grip the bun
• Smooth satin gold plating
• Fish arranged like rays of the sun
• Auspicious fish (matsya) motif
• About 28 g

Styling Suggestions

Pair it with a silk saree, a temple choker and a jasmine-wrapped low bun for a wedding, or with a lehenga for the sangeet. It is a lovely choice for the bride's mother and sisters too.

Why It Stands Out

The radiating fish give it a bright, sunburst outline and a meaningful motif, an elegant balance between bold and light.

How to Wear It

For South Indian bridal and dance hair, a hair donut or bun maker helps the bun stay round and full, so the arch can rest evenly on it. Wrap the hair around the donut, pin it, and then set the juda pin along the top edge, pushing the twisted prongs down firmly. Jasmine strings can be wrapped below or hung from the sides. For dance, add two crossed bobby pins under the arch for extra hold during fast movements.

Perfect For

• Weddings, receptions and engagements
• Bridesmaids and the bride's family
• Classical dance and festivals
• Festive photoshoots

Size and Fit

Make a firm, round bun, set the arch along its top edge and push the two twisted prongs down into the bun. The arch frames the bun from side to side, exactly as in the photos.

Care Instructions

Keep water, hair oil, perfume and sanitiser off the gold plating. A quick wipe with a soft cotton cloth is all the cleaning it needs; avoid polishing liquids, which can wear the plating. Store it in an airtight pouch, ideally with a silica gel sachet during the monsoon.
