The styles in this edit

Classic Whites: Clean pear-centred layouts with white stones create a crisp, traditional profile. The victoria polish gives a refined sheen while the no-drops look keeps the forehead line neat.

Vibrant Reds: Pear motifs framed with white kundan are accented by bold red stones for instant contrast. The brass base and glossy polish lend a rich festive vibe ideal for ceremonies.

Multi-colour Magic: A mix of colours around the teardrop centre adds playful energy for sangeet and festive days. Round and pear stones work together to keep the silhouette clear even with multiple hues.

Subtle Sophistication: Understated arrangements focus on the teardrop outline with minimal contrast. Soft whites and tidy stone placement highlight the shape without extra layers or dangling elements.

How and when to wear them

Pair Classic Whites with a silk saree or pastel anarkali for engagement dinners and reception evenings. Vibrant Reds complement a lehenga or brocade kurta set during wedding rituals and Navratri nights.

Choose Multi-colour Magic for mehendi or festive pujas; it teams well with bright dupattas and Indo-western fusion sets. For a heavier bridal look, explore statement options in our bridal maang tikkas to match ornate outfits.

Choosing the right piece and caring for it

Balance the pendant size with your forehead width; a compact mangtika feels lighter on smaller faces, while a broader teardrop can anchor voluminous hairstyles. Match stone colours to your outfit accents—white for versatility, red for contrast, multi-colour when your look mixes hues. If you’ll wear it for hours, these celebration styles are a comfortable pick.

Keep your maang tikka away from water, perfume and humidity to preserve the victoria polish. After use, wipe gently and store each piece separately in a soft pouch so stones and metal don’t rub against other jewellery. Pick a maang tikka design that echoes your neckline embellishment for a cohesive finish.
