A bold, colourful tikka for festivals and folk looks. The pendant is an inverted triangle painted in two shades of meenakari enamel, framed in oxidised silver tone, edged with a fringe of ghungroo bells, and it hangs from a chain made of clusters of tiny bells.
The triangle has an outer enamel border, a second enamel band painted with small silver scrolls, and an inner triangle with a raised silver leaf motif. Three small clear stones sit at the corners, and a little silver scroll knot joins the triangle to the chain. Instead of a plain chain, the tikka hangs from a short string of clustered mini bells that ends in a hook. The tikka weighs about 22 g.
Meenakari is the craft of colouring metal with enamel, and pairing it with oxidised silver gives this tikka a Rajasthani and Gujarati folk feel. The triangle shape is less common than the usual round tikka, which makes it a real conversation piece. Choose Red-Green for a festive, bridal palette or Red-Blue for a striking, indigo-led look.
This tikka loves colour. Wear it with a bandhani or leheriya dupatta, a chaniya choli for garba, or a mirror-work kurta with oxidised jhumkas. Keep the hair parted in the middle and tied back in a braid so the bell chain shows. For a fusion look, try it with a plain black kurta and silver bangles and let the enamel be the only colour.
It brings colour, sound and an unusual shape together in one piece. The enamel adds brightness that plain oxidised tikkas do not have, and the bell chain is a lovely detail most tikkas skip.
The tikka hangs from a fine chain that runs back along the hair parting and hooks into the hair at the crown. Pull the chain to the length that lets the pendant rest on the middle of the forehead, then hook it in and cover the hook with a little hair or a bobby pin. The bell chain is short and decorative, so hook it close to the hairline.
Oxidised and silver-tone hair jewellery loves dry air. Put it in after hair oil, serum and spray have dried, take it out before washing your hair, and wipe it with a soft dry cloth before putting it away. Store it in a zip pouch or a small box so the prongs do not bend and the details do not scratch against other pieces.
