We first spotted it about two years ago when Nargiz Fakhri walked the ramp for Aashima and Leena, Strands of kundan wrapped around one side of the head giving her a very Mughal, Begum-like look. What is that, we wondered....its not a mathapatti, its not a jhoomer...its a...hair chain!!

Want to take the chain a step forward? These are examples of 'Half mathapatti's which go around on one side with a center tikka.
Also spotted on Pinterest: More western style hair chains for a delicate look
Where do you get them?
Your artificial jewellery place will be able to customise these.
India Trend has some interesting pieces , but you don't even need a proper head chain to carry these off. Have a necklace with strings of kundan, just attach that on the side of your head
