 How is Kundan Jewellery Made

It is created by setting cut, shaped and polished glass pieces and coloured glass /gemstones  into gold or a faux metal base. As a matter of fact ,we can trace its roots to Rajasthan & Gujarat. It is a very old & traditional form of jewellery made and worn in India. Jaipur is a prominent city known for Kundan Jewellery.

Kundan Jewellery is much cheaper that actual gold & diamond jewellery or Polki jewellery. Hence it is more affordable.Meena Kundan is a popular variation wherein enamelling with vivid colours and designs is done on the reverse of Kundan stones.

Antique Kundan is creating a niche for itself in modern bridal fashion. It is similar to imitation jewellery.
