A small, clean maang tikka for the days you want a touch of tradition without a heavy headpiece. The round disc is cut out like a mandala, with many slim pointed petals fanning out from a tiny domed centre, and it hangs from a fine silver-tone link chain.
The pendant is a flat round disc inside a plain rim, about the size of a large coin. Its face is pierced all over, so the petals look almost like lace and your forehead shows through between them. The little dome in the middle catches the light and gives the disc a focal point. A fine link chain runs from the top of the disc back along the parting and ends in a hook. The whole tikka weighs only about 7 g, so you hardly feel it.
Round tikkas are the easiest shape to wear: they sit flat, they suit every face shape and they look good on their own or with a bindi just below. The cut-out mandala pattern is a classic of oxidised jewellery, where the darker recesses make each petal stand out. Because it has no stones, it matches every outfit colour and every other piece of silver-tone jewellery you own.
Wear it with a centre parting and open hair or a low bun, a small red bindi and simple jhumkas for a classic festive look. It suits cotton and silk sarees, anarkalis, lehengas and even a plain kurta on a puja morning. Because it is small, it works for school and college functions, Navratri garba, haldi and mehendi, and for dancers who need something light that stays in place.
Many tikkas are either too heavy for a whole day or too plain to notice. This one sits in the middle: a detailed cut-out design that is visible in photos, at a weight you forget you are wearing. It is also an easy first maang tikka for young girls.
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 disc is small and round, so it suits both broad and narrow foreheads.
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.
