A bracelet he'll still be wearing next year

Our Rakhis are handcrafted using a traditional silk and zari dori, finished with a beautifully crafted 925 sterling silver motif. Each piece is designed to be both festive and timeless.

Yes. A handcrafted 925 silver piece — like our Rakhi bracelet — is a lasting alternative to a rakhi thread. Unlike the thread, it stays with him well beyond the festival, and each piece carries a protective coating that keeps it tarnish-free longer. For best results, avoid contact with water, perfume, chemicals, and intense workouts.

The best choice depends on his lifestyle and profession — cufflinks work well for someone who dresses up often, but they're equally suited to anyone who appreciates a considered accessory, not just formal wear. Lapel pins are especially versatile, moving easily between a suit, a bandhgala, or a simpler jacket. Even if he doesn't usually accessorize, a well-chosen piece can become the start of his own personal collection. If you're unsure what would suit him best, you can reach out for a free consultation — we're happy to help you choose.

For a younger brother, look at pieces with a bit more edge — the Untamed chain, a Kada bracelet, the Horse lapel pin, or Panther Untamed cufflinks all bring personality without feeling too formal for his age or lifestyle.

A lapel pin paired with a silk pocket square makes a strong combo under ₹10,000 — versatile, wearable across occasions, and a great starting gift for a younger brother building his first collection.

Start with something he'll actually reach for — a lapel pin or pocket square introduces him to accessorizing without asking him to change his style, since even the simplest piece is designed to carry meaning, not just sit as an accessory.

Yes — Manner's bracelet and earring collections make a natural return gift, keeping the exchange within the same handcrafted, meenakari-enamel design language. We can also create a custom piece if you have something specific in mind for her.

The rakhi thread marks a sister's wish for her brother's wellbeing, and his promise to protect and support her in return — a symbol of the sibling bond renewed each year on Raksha Bandhan.

Yes — for bulk or corporate Rakhi gifting, reach out to us directly. Pricing is based on order quantity, following a structured tier system, and we're happy to share price sheets and catalogs on request.

Manner bracelets come in 3 standard sizes. If you're unsure of his size, a photo of an existing bracelet or watch he wears against a ruler is usually enough to estimate the right fit.

Order by 10 August for personalized pieces and 17 August for in-stock pieces to guarantee delivery before Raksha Bandhan. Personalized pieces need extra time for engraving or custom detailing, so order a week earlier if you'd like a name or message added.

Every Rakhi bracelet is packaged in Manner's signature gift-ready presentation and shipped directly to your brother's address, timed to arrive in time for the ceremony itself — so the moment of tying the rakhi is met with a gift already there, not one still in transit. A personalized gift note travels with it at no charge, carrying your own words into that moment even when distance keeps you apart. Domestic shipping across India is free on every order. For international deliveries, shipping is insured and priced between ₹1,500–3,000 depending on destination.

As with all Manner pieces, exchanges are available within 48 hours of delivery for a manufacturing defect or if the wrong item was shipped — items must be unused, unworn, and unaltered, with photos sent to info@mannerindia.in. The Rakhi bracelet also carries an extended, sizing-specific exchange: since many pieces arrive closer to 28 August, you can request a size exchange up to 7 September. Depending on the design, resizing the original piece may be possible; otherwise it will be replaced with a new piece in the correct size.
