The Mehtab Meenakari Kada

Material And Detailing

​Base Metal: Premium Grade Brass, ensuring a high-quality weight and structural integrity for the multi-panel design. ​

Finish: 22K High-Micron Gold Plating, providing a rich, lasting luster that beautifully frames the colored elements. ​

Artistry: ​Hand-Painted Meenakari: Alternating panels feature ivory enamel (Meenakari) with delicate pink and green floral vines. ​

Kundan-Style Polki Work: Adjacent panels are encrusted with high-quality synthetic stones and ruby-red accents in a classic grid (Jali) pattern. ​

Construction: A hinged "Kada" style for a seamless fit, featuring a refined safety clasp.

​Style Inspiration

​The Aesthetic: "Imperial Romance." This piece draws heavily from the Rajputana and Mughal eras, where jewelry was a blend of architecture and nature. ​

The Vibe: It perfectly fits your vintage 70s cinematic preference—think of the grand, colorful heroines of classic Indian cinema.

​Styling Tip: Because of the multi-colored enamel, this is incredibly versatile. It can pull together an outfit that features ivory, ruby red, or emerald green. It looks stunning when worn alone as a "statement" piece on one wrist.

​Jewellery Care Guide

​Enamel and stone-set jewelry require specific care to prevent chipping and maintain the brilliance of the stones.

Enamel Protection - Meenakari is essentially glass; avoid dropping the bangle on hard surfaces like marble or tile, as the enamel can crack or chip.

Moisture - Control Do not use water or liquid cleaners. Moisture can seep behind the stone settings and cause the foil to darken or the stones to loosen.

Cleaning-  Use a dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the gold and enamel. For the stones, a very soft, dry brush can be used to remove dust from the crevices.

Storage -Store in a hard-shell padded box, ideally wrapped in butter paper or a soft cloth, to prevent the metal from scratching the delicate hand-painted enamel.
