Kundan Jewellery

Kundan jewelry is a traditional form of Indian gemstone jewelry that involves intricate setting of precious and semi-precious stones into a gold base. Originating in the royal courts of Rajasthan and Gujarat, this art form is known for its elaborate designs and rich craftsmanship.

 

The process of creating Kundan jewelry involves placing uncut gemstones, like diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and sapphires, into a gold foil base. The gold foil is meticulously molded around each stone to create a seamless, regal appearance. The back of the jewelry often features Meenakari, a form of enamel work that adds vibrant color and intricate patterns.

 

Kundan jewelry is characterized by its opulent look, with a blend of colorful stones and detailed gold work, making it a popular choice for bridal and festive occasions. The pieces are often large and ornate, including necklaces, earrings, bangles, and rings, each reflecting a timeless elegance and a deep cultural heritage.
