A juda pin that crowns the bun. A standing peacock with a crest forms the right side of an open circle, its long tail curving round the bottom, while curling filigree leaves and scrolls complete the circle on the left.
The pin stands upright at the top of a round bun, so the peacock and its circle show above the hair like a little crown. The cut-out leaves and the fine lines on the tail give it plenty of detail, and the bright silver tone stands out clearly against dark hair. It weighs about 23 g.
The peacock is linked with grace, beauty and Lord Krishna, and it is one of the most loved motifs in Indian jewellery. Here it is shaped into a circle, so the pin looks balanced from every angle. It is a juda pin, the traditional ornament for a bun, made in a fresh, bright silver tone.
Wear it in a round high or mid bun with a silk saree, a lehenga or an anarkali. It is lovely for classical dance, where buns are traditional, and for weddings when you want something different from flowers. Add silver jhumkas and a delicate necklace to keep the look light and festive.
Most juda pins sit flat. This one stands up and frames the bun, so the peacock is seen from across the room and in every photo.
The juda pin looks best when the bun is centred and round. After making the bun, look at it from behind with a hand mirror, then position the arch so both ends sit at the same height. Push the prongs straight down rather than at an angle, so the arch stands neatly. To remove it, ease it up gently along the line of the prongs, then undo the bun; this keeps the twisted prongs from catching your hair.
Slide the pin into a firm bun, braid or gathered section of hair, from the side the decoration should face, so the prongs hide inside the hair and only the decorated head shows. It sits exactly as in the photos. Push it into the top of the bun so the circle stands upright.
Make it the last thing you put in your hair and the first thing you take out. A soft, dry brush or cloth is enough to clean the carved details. Keep it in a closed box with a silica gel sachet during the monsoon, and it will keep its look for many seasons.
