Drop Kundan Maang Tikka — Gold Plated | Ruby Raang

The Piece India Has Worn for Centuries.

The maang tikka is one of the oldest and most sacred pieces of Indian jewellery — worn by queens, brides, and women of every generation as a mark of beauty, identity, and blessing. Placed at the centre parting of the hair, it frames the face the way no other piece of jewellery can. It is, simply, the piece that makes a look complete.

Ruby Raang's Drop Kundan Maang Tikka carries that centuries-old significance in a form that is at once timeless and entirely wearable for the modern woman. Handcrafted in our studio by skilled artisans trained in traditional technique, this tikka features a hand-set kundan drop pendant suspended from a delicate gold-plated chain — the kind of quiet, luminous movement that photographs beautifully from every angle.

The kundan setting — an ancient Indian technique in which stones are held in place by fine gold foil rather than prongs — gives each piece a characteristic depth and warmth that machine-made jewellery cannot replicate. The result is a tikka that feels as right on your mehendi day as it does at a Diwali party, a sangeet night, or a close friend's reception.

This product has been crafted by hand and may have slight irregularities or imperfections in color or embellishment. These irregularities are the result of human involvement in the process and add to the finished product's charm while ensuring you have a one-of-a-kind piece.

What your piece is made of
Your Ruby Raang Drop Kundan Maang Tikka is crafted from a gold-plated brass base with hand-set faux kundan stones. Kundan is one of India's oldest jewellery techniques — each stone is placed into a gold foil setting by hand, creating the characteristic depth and warmth that makes kundan jewellery instantly recognisable. All materials are hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin.
How to care for your piece
✦ Store in your Ruby Raang jewellery box when not wearing — this protects the gold plating and prevents scratches.
✦ Wear your jewellery last, take it off first — before applying perfume, hairspray, or skincare.
✦ Keep away from water, sweat, and humidity — remove before bathing, swimming, or exercising.
✦ Never spray perfume directly onto the piece — it damages the plating and dulls stones over time.
✦ Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove any residue.
✦ Store pieces individually — avoid layering pieces together in the same pouch, which causes scratches.
With proper care, your Ruby Raang piece will retain its lustre and beauty for years of celebrations.
