💎 Polki Diamond Necklace Set – Full Detailed Description 🔷 What is a Polki Diamond Necklace Set?

A Polki diamond necklace set is a traditional Indian jewellery ensemble featuring uncut, natural diamonds called Polki, set in gold. It usually includes:

• A necklace (choker, rani haar, or long haar)

• Matching earrings

• Optional pieces like maang tikka, passa, or nose ring (especially in bridal sets)

Polki diamonds are raw, uncut diamonds, often with a flat surface and organic shape. Unlike modern diamonds, Polki is not faceted or polished, which gives it a vintage and royal look.

🧬 Origin & Historical Significance

• Originated in Rajasthan and Mughal India

• Used in royal jewellery, often passed down as heirlooms

• Still popular in bridal wear, festivals, and luxury fashion

• Often crafted using the Jadau technique, a complex hand-setting method passed down generations

🔶 Materials Used 🛠️ Craftsmanship – Jadau Setting

Polki jewellery is made using the Jadau technique, a labor-intensive handwork process.

Steps:

1. Ghaat – Making the framework in gold.

2. Lac Filling – Wax-like lac is used to hold stones in place.

3. Kundan Setting – 24K gold foil is used to fix the Polki into the base.

4. Meenakari – Enamel painting on the reverse for design and finishing.

✅ This results in highly intricate, luxurious, and one-of-a-kind jewellery.
