7 – Must Have Kundan Jewellery Pieces

The origins of Kundan jewellery can be traced back to the 3rd century BC in the royal court of Rajasthan. Renowned for its excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail, creating Kundan jewellery is a complex process that demands exceptional skill.

Creating these masterpieces is an elaborate process. First, a framework is created from delicate gold strips. It is filled with lac to provide stability. Skilled artisans draw beautiful designs by hand and engrave them meticulously. The gold cavity is then filled with lac and adorned with precious stones, including slivers of diamonds known as ‘Polki’. The final step involves using a super thin foil of 24 carat gold, called Kundan, which is easily set using a heated metal tool.
