Polki traditionally refers to jewellery made with uncut diamonds, giving a raw, vintage sparkle. Polki-style imitation jewellery recreates this look with stones designed to resemble uncut diamonds, set in gold-toned frames.
Polki-style versus kundan
- Polki style imitates the irregular, uncut appearance of natural stones with a softer, vintage shimmer.
- Kundan uses flat, polished glass stones set closely together.
Both are often combined with pearls, coloured beads and enamel work.
Occasions
Polki-style jewellery suits weddings, receptions, sangeet ceremonies and grand festive events. Its vintage character pairs beautifully with heritage outfits.
Styling ideas
- 1A polki-style choker with a silk saree or lehenga.
- 2Polki chandbalis or jhumkas with an Anarkali suit.
- 3A layered polki necklace set for brides seeking a royal look.
Colour pairing
Polki-style stones look elegant with pastel lehengas, ivory and gold outfits, and deep jewel tones alike. Pearls and emerald or ruby-coloured drops add contrast.
Care
Store flat in a lined box, keep away from moisture and perfume, and clean gently. See our kundan and stone jewellery cleaning guide.
