The Rohini Ruby Kada

Material & Detailing

• Base Metal: Premium Grade Brass, providing a sleek, durable foundation that allows for the delicate tapering of the band.
• Finish: 22K High-Micron Gold Plating, offering a high-shine, buttery gold finish that radiates luxury.
• Artistry:
  • Cabochon Center: A smooth, rounded synthetic Ruby cabochon is encircled by a dual halo of micro-stones for a vintage "eye" motif.
  • Kundan Petals: The center is flanked by teardrop-shaped Polki-style stones, each individually set in gold-plated bezels.
  • Meenakari Accents: Subtle hints of dark emerald enamel at the edges of the stones add a traditional "Navratna" feel.
  • Sleek Band: The design transitions into a smooth, polished gold band for a comfortable, snag-free fit.

Style Inspiration

• The Aesthetic: "Poetic Elegance." This piece is inspired by the transition from heavy bridal jewelry to the more refined, wearable ornaments preferred in the late 70s.
• The Vibe: It captures that signature cinematic, romantic glow—ideal for a candlelit dinner or an intimate gathering.
• Styling Tip: This is a fantastic "stacking" piece. Wear it alongside a thin gold watch or a couple of simple gold glass bangles. The red center makes it a natural companion for red silk sarees or even a crisp white linen shirt.

Jewellery Care Guide

The combination of a prominent cabochon and delicate side stones requires specific attention to maintain its brilliance.

Protect - The Center Cabochon stones can be prone to scuffing. Avoid wearing this piece while doing heavy manual work or stacking it against rough-textured metal jewelry.

Avoid "Stone-Dulling" - Soap, hand sanitizer, and oils can get trapped in the halo setting, making the stones look cloudy. Remove the kada before washing your hands.

Post-Wear Buff -  Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently buff the ruby center and the side stones after each use to maintain the high-micron shine.

Dry Storage - Store in a separate velvet pouch or an airtight box. Avoid humidity, as it can cause the gold plating to lose its luster over time.
