What is Kundan Jewellery and Why You Should Invest in It?

Made popular by the Mughals, Kundan jewellery is made by Rajasthani craftsmen andrequires impecceble finnesse and attention to detail. Unlike Polki jewellery which is


constructed by setting uncut diamond and precious and semi-precious stones in gold ,

Kundan jewellery makes use of glass imitations while using stones and gold or silver, and

is therefore more affordable while still maintaining the regality of the traditional mughal

inspired designs. Another special feature of Kundan Jewellery is it’s finish where the opposite side of the piece is enameled using Meenakaari. You may not get great return on your investment when it comes to Kundan jewellery since the weight of the kundan charged as gold will be debited in case of exchanges or returns. However, this is the case for any kind of Jadau and Polki jewellery as well. As the old saying goes, if you want to keep your money safe, invest in gold. However, there’s nothing that says bride like heirloom designs set with Kundan, Polki and precious stones. It’s not like we are selling our gold now to buy bread, are we? Let’s celebrate the craftsmanship, the look and detailing and the art of this kind of jewellery. You are sure to pass this on to your children.


What Is The Technique Used To Make Kundan Jewellery And How To Identify Them?


Kundan jewellery has layers upon layers of stone and precious metal and features intricate joint work. Flat or uncut stones are set on 24 carat gold jewellery using lac and fine gold foils. The undersides of these pieces are enamelled. Kundan also features elaborate meenakari work and looks stunning with uncut rubies, sapphires and emeralds too.
