At Frontier Jewellers Exclusive we design and craft Kundan bridal jewellery sets that reflect tradition, fine craftsmanship, and cultural value. Our collection is created to match the needs of today’s brides who want jewellery that connects them with their roots while also standing out in every celebration.
Understanding the Kundan Bridal Jewellery Set
A Kundan bridal set includes multiple pieces such as a necklace, maang tikka, earrings, nose ring, bangles, armlets, and waist belt. This form of jewellery has its origin in Rajasthan and Gujarat and is often linked with the Mughal era. It uses highly refined gold and glass or gemstone inlays that are pressed into a base of pure gold foil.
What makes Kundan jewellery unique is the way it reflects light through its uncut glass pieces, giving a striking look without the use of faceted stones. The layering of gold foils beneath the glass pieces gives it a strong visual character.
Components of a Full Kundan Bridal Jewellery Set
Jewellery Piece | Description |
Choker Necklace | Worn close to the neck, often heavy in design, forming the centrepiece of the bridal look. |
Long Necklace (Rani Haar) | Worn alongside the choker, it adds depth and completes the traditional styling. |
Maang Tikka | Placed in the middle parting of the hair, it gives a balanced appearance. |
Jhumkas or Danglers | Earrings often designed to match the choker; large, noticeable and detailed. |
Nath (Nose Ring) | A classic circular nose ring with or without a chain that attaches to the hair or ear. |
Kadas/Bangles | Thick or thin bangles that are worn on both hands, often layered. |
Baju Bandh | Worn on the upper arm, usually matching with the rest of the set. |
Kamarbandh | A waist belt that ties the whole outfit together, quite often studded with matching stones. |
Why Brides Prefer Kundan Sets
- Traditional Value: Kundan jewellery is often passed down through generations. It holds high emotional and cultural importance, especially in North Indian weddings.
- Handcrafted Detail: Each piece is made by hand using skilled methods that take several days or weeks to complete. This gives every set a rare and one-of-a-kind character.
- Customisation Options: Brides can choose different gemstone colours to match their wedding outfit—like red, green, blue, and white combinations.
- Comfortable to Wear: Despite their heavy look, most Kundan sets are made with light materials at the base, making them easier to wear for long hours.
Materials Used in Making Kundan Jewellery
Material | Role |
Gold Foil | Forms the base and holds the stones in place. |
Polki (Uncut Diamonds) | Sometimes used along with glass for a richer effect. |
Meenakari Work | Colour enamel work at the back side of the piece, adds value and hidden beauty. |
Glass Stones | Carefully cut and polished, fitted into the design. |
Kundan Jewellery with Meenakari Backing
The art of Meenakari, often done on the reverse side of the Kundan jewellery, uses enamel painting techniques to create vivid floral and geometric patterns. Though not always visible during wear, this detail adds artistic value and reflects the dual skill sets of the artisan.
Styling a Kundan Bridal Set for the Big Day
- Matching with Lehenga/Saree: Choose tones in your jewellery that match or contrast the colour of your outfit.
- Layering Necklaces: Pair a wide choker with a long Rani Haar for a complete neckline.
- Hair and Nose Accessories: Use a maang tikka and nath to frame your face and enhance features.
- Avoid Overcrowding: If your outfit has heavy embroidery, go for simpler Kundan designs to maintain balance.
Buying Tips for Brides
- Check for Hallmarking: Always ensure the jewellery is BIS hallmarked for authenticity.
- Try Before Buying: Wear the full set during trial to test comfort and fitting.
