What is Polki jewellery?

Polki Jewellery is the regal form of jewellery which skilfully combines big uncut diamonds and precious stones together. When combined with Kundan place settings and finer elements like pearls, these combine to form marvellous Jadau jewellery pieces which are not just artistically curated but also aesthetically pleasing.

The intricate Polki set and other pieces of jewellery have the wonderful potential of transforming you into a royal princess, making you look no less than a Maharani on your wedding day.

Polki Origins

The origin of the Polki set and jewellery dates back to the Mughals. It was further brought into the royal homes by the royals of Gujrat and Rajasthan. Taking the Polki legacy further, the highly skilled artisans of Bikaner are the pioneers in the Polki set industry.

Types of Polkis in a Polki Set

Kilwas Polki, syndicate Polki and Zimbabwe Polki are the three prominent types of Polki jewellery. Any of the three forms of Polki set are ideal for any bride, bride’s mother or bridesmaid who is a lover of the vintage old-world charm. Further, if you're looking for viral trends, then Hyderabadi Polki and open Polki are two distinct styles which you can pick up:

Hyderabadi Polki

Hyderabadi Polki set is the silver variant of the regal jadau jewellery pieces. Unlike the gold jewellery, the Hyderabadi Polki is much more affordable and has a distinct touch to itself.

Open Polki

Open Polki set uses diamonds or precious stones without an enamel back coating. The gold frame is formed in a way that holds the diamonds which allows light to pass through, giving a distinct touch to the vintage charm of the Polki set. Notice the effect with the longer necklace in the above picture.

Apart from the Polki set and stone variants listed above, rubies and green stones are the latest inclusions of bridal jadau Polki jewellery. You may spot several celebrities flaunting these Polki set styles on Instagram. Despite being much more expensive and precious than Kundan, the jadau Polki sets are set apart by their subtle brilliance.

The major difference between Polki jewellery and Kundan set is that the Polki jewellery uses big uncut diamonds or precious stones which are unpolished, un-smoothened and in their natural raw form. Unlike Polki, Kundan uses the machine made, perfectly cut and highly polished pieces of glass. Kundan reflects light back like mirror and therefore does not possess that rawness and precious quality.
