If you’re fascinated by the rich, extravagant jewellery that were worn by the royal ladies of Indian history, chances are that you’re in love with Polki jewellery. Introduced to India by the Mughals, Polki is one of the oldest styles of jewellery designs. Although, it came to India along with the Mughals, it has now become very much a part of the Indian culture. Polki is as popular in the Indian jewellery scene as its predecessor, Kundan jewellery, which has Rajasthani origins.

What is Polki jewellery?

So, what makes the Polki jewellery so special and so strikingly beautiful? Well, the fact that they are made from diamonds. And that they are hand-crafted by some of the finest and skilled craftsmanship. Yes, the stones used in Polki, also known as the Polki stones, are in fact, uncut, unfinished diamonds directly obtained from mining.

These diamonds are used in their most natural form, which impart class and attractiveness to Polki. The essence of Polki jewellery is the beautiful blend of diamonds with breath-taking designs and patterns. Let’s now see how Polki jewellery is made?

The making of Polki jewellery

As we mentioned before, all Polki jewellery sets have the uncut diamonds as one of the core elements. These Polki stones are set in gold jewellery, using lac and fine pure gold foils. The gold foil essentially holds the Polki stones together and makes them stay in their position.

Sometimes, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds and other gemstones are also laced between the uncut diamond stones in Polki designs. The fact that Polki stones look good with most gemstones and birthstones makes them quite versatile and gives them a broader appeal.

Polki and the different jewellery pieces

Whether, you wear them as necklaces, bangles, or maang-tikas, Polki jewellery designs will make you look like a princess on any occasion. So, if your wedding is around the corner and you’re thinking about what type of jewellery might look most elegant with your bridal lehenga, we put our money on Polki.

Very few jewellery styles look as royal and as rich as diamond and gold Polki jewellery does and it goes superbly well with all the different styles of traditional wear. Whether you’re planning to wear a saree for your south Indian wedding, a lehenga for North Indian style baraat, or a suit for Punjabi Gurudwara wedding; a gorgeous Polki set can make you sizzle in any outfit so you look like the perfect bride!

For other occasions and functions, go for a heavy neckpiece with Polki design. If you’re someone who prefers to go light on the neck, then chandelier-shaped Polki earrings or big studs set in Polki stones, would do the trick for you.

If you want to do something different other than the polki necklace and ear pieces, we know just what you need, a man-tikka. We honestly think a maang-tikka can take your traditional look to a completely new level. So, ditch the necklaces and earrings and let your maang-tikka have all the attention have to itself, for a change. The amazing Polki designs of bangles, bracelets and kadas could also be added to complete your traditional look.
