Styles you’ll find in this edit

Peacock Motifs: Curved peacock outlines, stylised plumes and clustered kundan settings create a graceful focal point in Victoria polish. The bird profiles sit neatly on the forehead, with delicate drops adding a soft sway.

Floral Inspirations: Petal-shaped kundan settings form circular blooms and compact sprays for a classic, symmetrical look. These pieces read refined at the centre parting and finish with small, rhythmic drops.

Crescent Shapes: Chandbali tikka silhouettes bring a crescent arc that frames the forehead clearly. Kundan-set curves shape the half-moon, while the added drops create noticeable movement for photos and rituals.

Zircon Highlights: Select pieces pair kundan centres with zircon sparkle along borders or accents for extra glint under evening lights. If you like brighter shine across more silhouettes, explore our zircon tikka styles.

When to wear them and what to pair with

Match floral pieces with a silk saree for festivals and day poojas, and choose a crescent chandbali tikka with a lehenga for sangeet or reception nights. Peacock motifs add presence with a bridal set; for complete options across silhouettes and sizes, browse our bridal tikka range. Compact florals work well with an anarkali or a kurta set, while zircon-accented styles pair smartly with Indo-western looks after dusk. For a rajasthani maang tikka mood, pick bold crescents or defined peacock profiles with clear drops, then add kundan earrings and slim bangles.

Picking the right tikka and caring for it

Choose compact florals for smaller foreheads; opt for broader crescents if you want a fuller frame in photographs. Larger centres with multiple drops can feel weightier across long events, so match size to comfort. Kundan reads neutral across outfit colours, while zircon accents catch bright light—pick to complement your fabric tone and embroidery. Keep the piece away from water, perfume and humidity, wipe it after wear, and store it separately in a soft pouch.
