Kundan is a traditional Indian jewellery style known for glass stones set closely in gold-toned frames, often with enamel work on the back. Kundan-style imitation jewellery brings this regal look to weddings, festivals and receptions at an accessible price.
What defines kundan style

- Gold-toned metal framing each stone.
- Often combined with pearls, drops and coloured beads.
- Traditional designs may feature meenakari (enamel) on the reverse.

- 3The back is finished cleanly.
- 4Pearls and drops hang evenly and are firmly attached.
Occasions
Kundan suits weddings, receptions, sangeet, Diwali and formal festive events. Lighter kundan earrings or a small pendant can also lift a simpler ethnic outfit.
Outfit pairing
- Silk sarees and lehengas: a full kundan necklace set with matching earrings.
- Anarkalis and suits: kundan earrings with a light choker or no necklace.
- Indo-western: a single statement kundan choker with a plain outfit.
Colour coordination
Kundan sets often include coloured stones such as red, green or blue. Match them to your outfit, or choose white kundan with pearls for a versatile set that suits many colours.
Care
Avoid water and perfume, wipe gently after wearing and store each set flat in its box. See our kundan and stone jewellery cleaning guide.
