The Royal Revival: Why 925 Silver Kundan Jewellery is the Modern Heirloom
Share
Kundan jewellery—a dazzling, intricate art form with roots deep in the royal courts of Rajasthan and the Mughal Empire—has long been synonymous with opulence and unparalleled craftsmanship. Traditionally set in pure gold, this magnificent style is now experiencing a modern revival, making it accessible to every jewellery lover. Welcome to the world of 925 Silver Kundan Jewellery, where timeless elegance meets everyday luxury.
What is Kundan, and Why is it So Special?
The word 'Kundan' literally means highly refined gold. The jewellery technique, also known as Jadau, is an age-old process where carefully cut, polished gemstones (or glass pieces) are meticulously set into a metal base using strips of pure gold foil.
The process is highly detailed:
- The Setting: The gems are fixed by pressing the gold foil around the edges, cold-soldering them without heat or prongs, creating a brilliant, seamless look.
- The Look: Kundan jewellery is instantly recognizable by its vibrant, uncut stones (often called Polki) and the exquisite, often enamelled (Meenakari) work on the reverse side. It’s a true piece of wearable art!
The Modern Luxury: Kundan in 925 Sterling Silver
For centuries, this style was reserved for royalty. Today, skilled artisans have successfully translated this complex art to a 925 Sterling Silver base, often finished with a gold polish. This innovation is a game-changer for the modern jewellery buyer:
- Affordable Luxury, Kundan on Silver: You get the magnificent, regal look of traditional Kundan sets—the intricate detail, the vibrant stones, the statement appeal—at a fraction of the cost of pure gold jewellery. This opens up the possibility of owning multiple stunning pieces for different occasions.
- 925 Silver, Sterling Silver Kundan: 925 Sterling Silver is 92.5% pure silver, making it durable, lustrous, and hypoallergenic for most wearers. By choosing a Sterling Silver base, you ensure your piece is built to last, retaining its structure and shine for years of enjoyment.
- Versatility for Every Occasion: While traditional Kundan was reserved for weddings and grand ceremonies, our 925 Silver Kundan is light enough and priced affordably enough to be worn for festive occasions, parties, or even as a standout piece of daily wear. A Kundan choker or a pair of jhumkas effortlessly elevates any ethnic or contemporary outfit.
