16 One-of-a-Kind Maang Tikkas For the Modern, Minimalist Bride

The humble maang tikka—a salient, propitious piece of jewellery in a bride's solah shringar—not only accentuates her crown but is meant to lend her the power and will to succeed in married life. While the traditional version of the bridal adornment includes a serai (the chain) and a tikka (the headpiece), meant to rest on a woman's maang (middle parting), its contemporary counterpart is designed as a single statement piece to emphasise the bride's features.  Cowrie shells, pristine pearls, and animal motifs; our thoughtfully-curated selection of maang tikkas offers something for every bridal personality.
