How to wear

Fasten with two fingers of ease at the waist. Check the fit every few months as the baby grows and move up a size rather than stretching the chain. Remove during oil massage and bath, and wipe dry.

Silver care

Wipe with the cloth in your box after wear, and store the piece dry in its pouch — trapped moisture is what darkens silver fastest. Put jewellery on last, after perfume, lotion and hairspray, and take it off before a bath, the pool or the gym. Tarnish, when it appears, is a harmless surface reaction that wipes off — and it only happens to real silver. Avoid toothpaste and baking soda on rhodium, gold-plated or oxidised finishes.

Questions

Frequently asked

What is molathadu called in other languages?

Araignan kayiru or molathadu in Tamil, aranjanam in Malayalam, and simply a baby waist chain or baby hip chain in English — all the same thin silver chain tied at a baby's waist.

How do I know which size to order?

Measure the baby's waist with a soft tape and add about two inches. Newborn to six months usually takes 16 in, six to eighteen months 18 in, and toddlers 20 in. Each size lists its own silver weight.

Is this real 925 sterling silver?

Yes. Every anokhi piece is solid 925 sterling silver (92.5% pure), BIS hallmarked for 925 purity where applicable, and ships with a certificate of authenticity — never silver-plated or German silver.

Will it tarnish, and how do I care for it?

Pieces carry an anti-tarnish finish. Wipe with the included cloth, avoid perfume/water contact, and store dry in the pouch between wears to keep them bright for years.

What are the shipping, COD and return terms?

Free shipping above ₹999, cash on delivery pan-India, and 7-day easy returns on unused, hallmarked items in original packaging. Authenticity issues are refunded in full.
