What Is Kundan Jewellery?

India is a nation renowned for the variety of its culture, religion, and handicrafts. It is widely known for its traditional jewellery as well as its luxurious fabrics. Kundan jewellery holds credit as one of the oldest forms of jewellery in India with a rich legacy of over 2,500 years.

 Kundan jewellery is a popular type of Indian gemstone jewellery that is desired by most women. Usually preferred for weddings and special events & is a great option if you don't want to blow a big hole in your wallet because it is less expensive than polki jewellery.

The word 'kundan' means highly refined gold. The jewellery gets its name because of the skilled craftsmanship of encasing glass or gemstones in a base of gold foil made of highly refined and pure form of molten gold. It's production process also involves enameling with vivid colours on the reverse while the kundan design is on the front.
