The Perfect Blend of Royalty and Style with Polki Kundan Earrings

Polki and kundan craftsmanship have a rich history, and their age-old legacy continues till this day. Both these terms come from the technique itself, where stones were cut manually and polished by hand, giving them their own unique shine. 

While polki presents a vintage charm with rich heritage, kundan shines with lustre, due to the specific historical manner in which the stones are faceted. Polki-kundan works were born from a rich cultural exchange of diverse communities.

Polki jewellery was initially patronised by the Royal Rajput courts, and later gifted as tributes to the Mughal emperors as a sign of goodwill. The Mughals, on the other hand, favoured kundan-work due to how the stones shone like mirrors, and mirror-motifs were largely popular during the Mughal era. Due to their penchant for art and artistry, the Mughal court also deeply appreciated the gift of polki, and thus the polki-kundan styles met in a rich cultural fusion. 

Polki-kundan work and craftsmanship was deeply respected and it is still practised with passion and precision. Through the modern times, polki-kundan techniques have evolved and incorporated western designs and jewellery making techniques into their work, an even richer fusion which offers both elegance and versatility. 

From daily wear to formal and festive, polki and kundan jewellery now have a wide range of options. Blending royal heritage, rich history, cultural exchange and now, minimalist elegance, polki and kundan jewellery can be your signature style, with a unique twist to every outfit!

The most popular among polki-kundan work are earrings. Be it studs, small jhumkas, or opulent danglers— no look is complete without earrings and the polki-kundan artisans know it. Welding smaller stones, in vibrant colours for polki, or a monochrome all-white with pearl and mirror work kundan, polki and kundan earrings are at an all-time high in top Indian fashion trends. 

The crowd favourite are the grand polki and kundan jhumkas for occasions like weddings, and other festivities. 

With indo-fusion fits gaining popularity, style experiments with minimalist or statement pieces are also common. It all depends on your personal style, if you like a dramatic flair, you can go for a mid-size kundan/polki jhumka, and if you like keeping it neat, kundan-polki stud earrings are just the thing for you. Kundan-polki studs are also great with work blazers and fitted trousers for a formal party look.
