More Than Jewellery—A Work of Art
Some jewellery shines.
Some tells a story.
Jadau Kundan jewellery does both.
With its intricate detailing and royal appeal,
this timeless craft represents centuries of artistry, culture, and heritage.
The Royal Origins of Jadau Kundan
Jadau Kundan jewellery traces its roots back to the Mughal era.
It flourished in royal courts where:
- Kings and queens adorned themselves with elaborate designs
- Skilled artisans created pieces exclusively for royalty
The word “Jadau” means to embed, referring to the technique used to set stones.
It was never just jewellery—it was a symbol of power, wealth, and prestige.
What is Kundan?
Kundan refers to highly refined gold foil used to set stones.
Unlike modern settings:
- No glue is used
- Stones are carefully placed and secured with gold
This gives the jewellery:
- A rich, handcrafted look
- A flawless, seamless finish
The Craftsmanship Behind Jadau Jewellery
Creating Jadau Kundan jewellery is a time-intensive process.
Each piece goes through multiple stages:
1. Designing
Intricate patterns are sketched, often inspired by:
- Nature
- Royal motifs
- Traditional art
2. Ghaat (Framework Creation)
A base structure is made using metal.
3. Stone Setting (Kundan Work)
Stones are set using layers of gold foil.
This is where true craftsmanship shines.
4. Meenakari (Enamel Work)
The back of the jewellery is often decorated with colorful enamel.
Making it beautiful from both sides.
A single piece can take days or even weeks to complete.
