About the Craft
Kundan jewellery represents one of India's oldest and most prestigious jewellery-making traditions, with roots in the royal courts of Rajasthan and Gujarat, where it adorned maharanis and princesses for centuries. The word 'kundan' refers to highly refined pure gold, and the technique involves setting uncut or polished stones into gold foil with remarkable precision. Delhi's master karigars continue this regal legacy, spending years mastering the intricate skills required to create these elaborate pieces. The process begins with crafting the base structure from gold-plated metal, forming the distinctive choker shape that sits elegantly on the neckline. Then comes the meticulous work of setting each kundan stone. The craftsman creates tiny compartments called 'ghats' for each stone, then places pure gold foil into these settings. The kundan stones, cut into perfect teardrop and circular shapes, are pressed into the gold foil using a special tool. The pressure must be precisely calibrated – too much and the foil tears, too little and the stone won't hold. This setting technique, done entirely by hand without any adhesive, creates that characteristic brilliance as light reflects off both the stone and the gold backing. The peach-coloured beads add a contemporary twist to this traditional craft, carefully selected for their uniform size, smooth finish and delicate hue. Each bead is individually threaded and attached to create the cascading fringe that adds movement and feminine grace. The matching earrings and maang tikka are crafted using the same painstaking techniques, ensuring visual harmony across the entire set.
Speciality
What sets this bridal set apart is the inspired fusion of classic kundan craftsmanship with the unexpected softness of peach tones. While traditional kundan jewellery often features bold reds, greens and blues, this set takes a more contemporary approach with its blush peach palette, creating a look that's both regal and refreshingly modern. The colour works beautifully with today's popular pastel bridal lehengas while still complementing traditional reds and maroons. The teardrop kundan arrangement creates a sense of opulence and grandeur befitting a bride, while the pearl drops soften the look, adding delicate femininity. The choker style is particularly flattering as it highlights the collarbone and draws attention to the bride's face. Each kundan stone is set with such precision that it catches and reflects light with every movement, ensuring you sparkle throughout your celebration. The adjustable dori means you don't need to worry about sizing, and the set comes complete with coordinating earrings and maang tikka, eliminating the challenge of mixing and matching separate pieces.
How to Care?
Your precious bridal kundan set deserves careful attention to preserve its beauty for generations. Always keep the jewellery completely dry and away from water, as moisture can damage both the gold plating and the kundan settings. Never wear it while bathing, swimming or during any activity involving water. Avoid all contact with perfumes, deodorants, hairsprays, cosmetics and chemicals, as these can tarnish the gold finish and dull the kundan stones. Always put on your jewellery as the final step after completing your beauty routine. After wearing, gently wipe each piece with a soft, dry cloth to remove any oils or residue, then store immediately in an airtight box or zip-lock bag to prevent oxidation. Keep the set away from direct sunlight and humidity. Store each piece separately or with soft cotton padding between items to prevent scratching.
This peach meenakari and kundan bridal necklace set is where centuries of royal craftsmanship meet contemporary bridal elegance, offering you jewellery worthy of the most important day of your life and beautiful enough to become a cherished family heirloom.
