ARABELLA MAANG TIKA

The Arabella Maang Tika is part of The Vintage Snob's handcrafted jewellery collection — a richly textured bridal headpiece for anyone who wants their maang tika to feel as considered and luminous as the rest of their look.

The maang tika — also called maang tikka — sits at the parting of the hair at the centre of the forehead, one of the most personal pieces of jewellery anyone can wear. The Arabella version brings this tradition to life in metal, beads, and pearls — micro-beaded petals layered by hand, pearl clusters and embellishments placed individually, with soft lavender and blush accents adding depth and dimension throughout. The centre floral form catches light beautifully from every angle, suspended on a delicate adjustable chain.

The golden, cream, and pearl palette makes the Arabella Maang Tika one of the most versatile bridal headpieces in The Vintage Snob's collection — pairing effortlessly with a wide range of bridal outfits and styling choices.

Wear it for:
Weddings, mehendi ceremonies, haldi functions, sangeet nights, reception looks, festive occasions, Diwali, Eid, engagement ceremonies, and every celebration worth adorning.

Styling notes:
The golden, cream, pearl, and soft lavender palette pairs beautifully with ivory and champagne lehengas, gold and cream sarees, pastel anarkalis, and blush and white bridal outfits. The adjustable chain fits most parting widths and sits flush against the forehead comfortably. Works beautifully with braids, buns, half-up styles, and loose waves.

Complete the Arabella collection:
The Arabella Maang Tika pairs beautifully with the Arabella Earrings, Arabella Necklace, Arabella II Hair Clips, and Arabella Hand Harness — all sharing the same golden, cream, and beige palette and handcrafted metal and bead detailing.

A note on handcraft:
Because every Arabella Maang Tika is made by hand, slight natural variation in bead placement and finish is completely expected — and celebrated.
