Know Your Cuts: Everything You’ve Wanted To Know About Polki And Kundan Jewellery

Both polki and kundan jewellery stand out in wedding jewellery. However, it might get a little confusing when you go out to buy jewellery, especially bridal jewellery, and you have to make decisions that bear major consequences for your wallet. To make life easier for you, here is a low-down on the basics of different cuts and techniques used in kundan and polki.

Kundan                                                                          Polki

Origin

Polki jewellery was introduced in the Mughal era, whereas kundan jewellery is a famous Rajasthani jewellery style that pre-dates polki.

Essential Element

Polki consists of unfinished and uncut natural diamonds whereas kundan is a jewellery making technique that makes use of different types of stones – precious, semi-precious, or glass imitations which are later set in 24 karat gold foil.

Earlier, both polki and kundan used 22-karat gold for the top and the base. But now, the jewellery base is made of gold which is of lesser purity, like 18-karat or 16-karat and the top is made of 24-karat gold.

Technique

Polki is mined from the earth in a natural way and is not grown in a laboratory. It is used in its natural shape and doesn’t need any polishing or finishing. Owing to its natural form and sheen, polki is held in high esteem and is on the expensive side. Since the stones retain their original shape, they are not alike, imparting a distinctiveness that makes each piece unique.

On the other hand, kundan jewellery is about precious gemstones that are studded in gold. It is elaborate by all means as it has multiple layers of precious metals and stone. Mostly, the underside of kundan jewellery is enamelled and it is polished to give it a more intricate look.

Pricing

Just like diamonds, polki jewellery is priced according to the 4 Cs – carat, colour, clarity and cut. It is way more expensive than kundan as it consists of unprocessed diamonds.

The usage of artificial stones makes kundan less expensive. Also, the use of gold in designing kundan jewellery is optional, which increases its affordability factor immensely.

Brides, your big day is almost here! It’s definitely time to feel the excitement, but it is also time to do a final check so that things run smoothly during your wedding. As the bride, you won’t be required to do any of the heavy lifting. But as the bride, you are expected to know everything that’s going on. You need to sort out any problems or issues beforehand so that you, the bride, don’t have to get stressed about anything. And the closer the wedding gets, the higher is the chance for stress to creep into your mind. So, we made a checklist for brides for the week before the wedding. This is the only checklist you need to refer to if you’re getting married in a week. - @sukhmani_waraich, Head Of Content & Strategy

Aquarius is one of the most flirty and charming air signs of the zodiac. And if you’ve got your eyes on one, good choice. But just a heads up, these air babies have a tendency to flirt and make people fall for them, sometimes unintentionally. So, if you think they could be your potential match ’cause they’re fun, flirty, and comfortable with you, you’ve got to hold your horses. Here’s an Aquarius compatibility quiz that will reveal if you should pursue them or drop everything and run for the hills. - @ravnoor09, Features Writer

If you are a fan of romance novels and movies, you would know that one of the most common tropes used in both is an office romance. Two colleagues who probably don’t see eye to eye, but have sizzling chemistry, often end up together. Well, office romances are not that uncommon in real life either. After all, you spend a good chunk of your day with your workmates. It’s natural then that you could be attracted to someone you work with. As thrilling as the prospect of dating a colleague is, you need to be careful about the relationship as well. Dating someone you work with is not easy, so here are some dos and don’ts if you want to hit the accelerator on that exciting office romance. - @abookaholicarts, Features Writer
