A paasa is a jewellery piece of Mughal origin and its shape is inspired by the radiance of the moon. It is also called the side maang tikka and has been around for almost 90 years and has passed down several generations yet it is still in trend not only due to its beauty but also its versatility. It is a style statement piece that a bride should have on her jewellery list as it covers the head beautifully and gives an effect of a crown for all the brides to look like a bold queen and slay on their big day.
The concept of a passa is to give you that effortless regal and gallant appearance and is sure to make the guests and your groom swoon. There are different varieties out there when you go passa hunting and you might get confused on what suits you the best as there are ones with intricate details, all pearls, a chandbali style, ones with coloured stones or geometrical and dainty ones.
Here is a list of five places where you can have your pick on Instagram and get it delivered to your home without having to go out looking for the perfect one.

Inaayat Jewels
Owned by Simmran Juneja, this store is located in Mumbai and makes jewellery that represents history, art and freedom. They revive and replenish relics of different cultures and water new roots and ancient soils. They create jewellery that is conscious, unique and time travelling. Creating and preserving rare totems of charm by drawing inspiration from nature, world history and freedom movements of all kinds, our jewellery is made leisurely with hums and songs of artisans in the background and a guarantee of equitable pay.
With every collection, they try to break their own assumptions about what a piece of jewellery can be, can do and who is made for by becoming porous with questions, inter-sectional in identity and aware of the malleability of the human mind and body, just like silver and they hope to keep shape-shifting.
Preeti Mohan
The company was founded by Mrs. Preeti Mohan, more than 10 years ago with a passion for design and initially modelling and retailing gold jewellery. However, the desire to serve the ardent patrons of jewellery only grew with time. From a kiosk at New Delhi’s beloved Select Citywalk mall to multiple kiosks, the brand eventually led to a brick and mortar store in Delhi’s hub for trousseau shopping- Shahpur Jat.
The brand stands strong on the belief that imitation jewellery is the future with its numerous benefits.
Art jewellery is hassle-free to maintain and is lightweight, is more convenient on the pocket and is safe to carry from one destination to another.
Zariin
Zariin is a jewellery label that makes life an occasion and creates artisanal and expressive everyday jewellery, in subtle, nuanced ways such that it appeals to the global woman. Using the Indian techniques and artisanal craftsmanship, blending it with the aesthetics of the contemporary West, the brand has taken a unique approach to design that spells “Modern Indian”. They strike a fine balance between culturally inspired detailed designs and minimalism. Fashion meets wearability with each of our handcrafted pieces designed around semi-precious stones and 22kt gold-dipped brass.
The brand is known for its signature look of raw, uncut gemstones dipped in 22kt gold, an approach that was taken in defiance of the prevailing industry standard of polished, smooth crystals and stones. The brand defined its muse loud and clear- the modern Zariin woman who is unrepentantly herself, embracing her flaws and imperfections.
