Baju band

What a gold baju band is

An armlet. Bajuband and baju kandora are the names people use at the counter. It sits on the upper arm. It has to be measured. A photo does not tell you if it will close. It is not a kada. A kada sits on the wrist. If you say the wrong word, they will still ask which limb you mean. Better to say armlet, baju band, or baju kandora.

Gold baju band. Baju kandora. Pieces that match a haar and a maang tikka. Motifs from a screenshot if the tray does not have yours. The photograph on this page is the armlet — /images/gold/baju-band.jpg — not a wrist kada. Hallmark gold. Sized on the arm in the store.

A wedding sitting usually includes a necklace, maang tikka, earrings, and often this piece. Sometimes a single armlet. The overview is bridal jewellery. Wrist pieces that are not armlets live on kadas and bracelets.

When people buy a baju band

A wedding, with the set. Sometimes a single piece for a function. A remake to match a haar made from a photograph. We try to do what is right for the customer at that point. We will not sell a wrist kada as a baju band because the image on a phone was cropped.

A photo from Instagram is enough if you want a specific motif. If you don’t like it, give it back and we will remake it. Because we care about the customer being satisfied. They will measure the arm. Say whether it must sit high or low, and whether the motif must match the haar. Custom.

How a baju band is sized and checked

Measured on the arm in the room. Hallmark. Stamp, clasp or screw, finish. A piece that will not close on the arm you have does not leave as “it will stretch”. All jewellery passes strict QC. How a piece is checked. After you take it home, store it with the set. Soft cloth. Bring it back if a screw loosens before a function morning. Jewellery care.

Which showroom for baju band

Ask for baju band or baju kandora at Bhayandar. Phoolji and Yogeshji. They will measure. Mira Road — Gopalji and Ramji. Same gold, same measuring.

Kundali is diamond-first. A diamond armlet sitting can start there. A full gold baju band sitting stays at Narenkumar. Kandivali is last. Vijay and Mahendra at Thakur Village. People also come here from Borivali, Malad and Dahisar. Message before a wedding week if you want a piece pulled.

Sized on the arm, not guessed from a photo

A baju band that looks right on a bride in a reel can refuse to close on the arm in front of us. That is why we measure. Upper arm. High or low, depending on the blouse and the haar. Bajuband and baju kandora are the words people use. Armlet is the plain word. It is not a kada. The photograph on this page is the armlet at /images/gold/baju-band.jpg.

Usually this piece sits with a wedding set. Sometimes it is a single armlet for a function. If the tray does not have your motif, a screenshot is enough to start. They will measure, make it, and you will see it in the room. If you don’t like it, give it back and we will remake it. We try to do what is right for the customer at that point.

Hallmark gold. Same QC as the rest of the bridal tray. Most staff have stayed over 10 years. We do not sell online. We do not publish a “bridal armlet” price. The ticket is for the piece on the arm. Ask at Bhayandar, Mira Road or Kandivali. Kundali is diamond-first. People also come to Kandivali from Borivali, Malad and Dahisar.

How a visit usually goes

Walk in before closing. Bhayandar closes 9:30 PM. Mira Road, Kundali and Kandivali close 9 PM. Say what you want. They open the tray. You try the weight or the size. They show the hallmark or the certificate. If the piece is not there, they take a photograph and a date. If you do not like the finished work, give it back and we remake it.

We are customer first. We think long term. People have been trusting these stores for generations. Since 1992, about 34 years. Most staff have stayed over 10 years. We do not sell online. We do not publish gold rates, making charges or buyback percentages. Exchange is discussed at the counter, in general terms, on the piece in front of you.

Message the store you already use if you are travelling across the city for one size or one length. A cropped story from Instagram, Facebook or Pinterest is enough to start. Custom work is a large part of what leaves these counters. The longer page is custom jewellery. How a piece is checked is on hallmark and QC.
