What is Authentic Kundan Jewellery?

The word ‘Kundan’ itself translates to ‘highly refined gold.’ Unlike modern machine-made jewellery, authentic Kundan refers to a specific method of gem-setting where 24-karat gold foil is used to secure precious stones. This ancient technique, known as Jadau, involves no prongs or adhesives. Within our Kundan Jewellery Category, you can find pieces where the artisan painstakingly inserts layers of pure gold foil between the stone and its mount, creating a seamless, glowing bond.
