There’s a kind of beginning that doesn’t announce itself. It unfolds gently — a soft murmur rather than a declaration. Firuzeh Jaipur began in just this way: not with a grand campaign, but with a thoughtful, handcrafted curation of fine jewelry rooted in tradition.

Among the earliest offerings — a necklace, a pair of earrings, a few rings — it was the maang tika that caught the eye and lingered in memory. That first collection found its way into trunks of trousseaus, into the folds of silk sarees, into the hearts of those who chose pieces not because they were trend-led, but because they felt quietly special.

A Headpiece Steeped in Symbolism

The maang tika — or maang tikka, as it is also known — is one of the oldest forms of Indian head jewelry. Traditionally worn at the parting of the hair, resting just at the forehead, it represents the Ajna chakra — the third-eye center of wisdom, intuition, and clarity. In bridal ceremonies across India, it is a symbol of spiritual and emotional union.

At Firuzeh, we believe the enduring appeal of the maang tika lies in this balance of ornament and meaning. Whether you choose it for your wedding day, a festive celebration, or simply to feel adorned — it is more than decorative. It carries presence. It has memory.

Rooted in Craft, Refined in Design

Each Firuzeh maang tika is made by skilled artisans in Jaipur — a city whose hands have shaped some of the finest heirloom Indian jewelry for centuries. We work with uncut Polki diamonds, tourmalines, emeralds, and natural pearls, chosen for their raw beauty and understated elegance.

Our styles range from bridal maang tikas rich with detail to contemporary headpieces that feel at home with both tradition and modernity. No two are alike — each piece is made in small batches, often once only, honouring the spirit of slow, meaningful design.

A Gentle Signature

While Firuzeh Jaipur’s collection has grown — to include handcrafted earrings, gemstone malas, chokers, rings, and more — the maang tika remains a gentle signature of our beginnings. It was never planned as the centerpiece, and yet it became one.

Even now, when someone writes to us saying, “My first Firuzeh piece was a maang tika,” we know they’ve seen the heart of the brand. Because at Firuzeh, we don’t believe in loud luxury. We believe in quiet, in pieces that speak softly but stay with you.

So whether you’re searching for a Polki maang tikka for your wedding, a handcrafted Indian headpiece for a festive gathering, or an heirloom piece to gift — you’ll find something personal in our collection.
