Precious and semi-precious stones are added to this form of jewellery in addition to uncut diamonds. As a matter of fact, these stones have an open setting and are not covered with gold at the back. For instance, this is done to reflect more light and sparkle.Polki is a revered tradition in the state of Rajasthan. The bridal look is incomplete without the Polki jewellery set. Rows of polki diamonds worn with the traditional lehenga gives the bride the charm & the bridal glow. As a matter of fact, Polki jewellery was introduced to India by the Moghuls.

What is the difference between Kundan & Polki

While polki is uncut diamond jewellery, Kundan is layers of cut glass jewellery.

Necklaces, bracelets and earrings are available in all the leading gold & diamond jewellery stores. However, Polki jewellery is much more expensive that Kundan jewellery. In other words, one being real diamonds and Kundan being glass.

Large uncut diamond stones are set on gold foils that is typically painted. The reflection of light on the diamond is important and hence they are carefully set. Rubies and emeralds are added to this type of setting  to add more elegance and appeal.  However,Kundan involves layers of glass painstakingly placed one on top of the other. The reverse side has enamel work on them.

Both the types of jewellery are available imitation jewellery shops as well.
