Description

This is a stunning example of Kundan jewellery, a traditional form of Indian gemstone jewelry involving a gold foil setting between the stones and its mount.

Design & Elements

Style: The piece is a Choker-style necklace with matching drop earrings. It features a heavy, regal aesthetic typical of bridal or festive wear.

Stonework: It is set with large, pear-shaped and oval Polki (uncut diamonds) or glass stones. These are encircled by smaller pave-set crystals or diamonds to enhance the brilliance.

Gemstone Accents: The design is punctuated by vibrant ruby-red stones, likely rubies or high-quality spinels, arranged in a delicate wave-like pattern that provides a sharp contrast to the gold and white stones.

Metalwork: The base is a rich, matte-finish yellow gold. The necklace is held together by a traditional adjustable Zardosi silk cord (Dori) in gold and red, allowing for a custom fit.

Craftsmanship Details

The necklace features a tiered, fringe-like drop. The central pendant section uses elongated pear motifs that create a sense of movement and “v-shape” elongation when worn, which is highly flattering for the neckline.

This style is often associated with Jadau work, originating from the royal courts of Rajasthan and Gujarat, and remains a timeless choice for heritage-inspired fashion.
