Polki Necklace|

A complete polki set or polki set jewellery usually covers a necklace, matching earrings, and sometimes a maang tikka. Bridal sets can be grand, while festive sets stay lighter. Heritage motifs like floral clusters, crescent panels, and jharokha shapes are common, and they pair well with lehengas and sarees for family events.

A polki necklace set refers to jewellery made with uncut diamonds in traditional settings and usually comes with earrings. A polki diamond necklace often mixes polki stones with cut and polished diamonds for extra sparkle and structure. The first leans vintage; the second blends classic craft with modern shine.

Kundan and polki jewellery are close cousins. Polki uses uncut, natural diamonds. Kundan, in its classic form, sets stones or coloured glass using high-purity gold foil; the look is vivid and mirror-like. Both are traditional, but polki carries the value of natural diamonds, while kundan is known for rich colour play and glowing foil work.

A blended polki kundan jewellery piece uses polki stones with kundan-style foil setting, often adding pearls or beads. The result is royal and photogenic, which is why brides favour it for pheras and receptions.

A polki choker frames the neckline and sits close to the collarbone. It works with deep neck blouses and structured gowns, and balances heavy dupattas well. If you want one strong piece without many layers, a choker delivers presence in a tidy form.

Choose a polki choker set with mid-length earrings for comfort through long ceremonies. Keep the maang tikka light if your choker is broad. For sarees, pick a choker with a slight drop; for lehengas, a straight edge looks neat. A single bangle stack or a kangan on each wrist finishes the set without clutter.

A polki diamond set adds cut diamonds around polki to lift brilliance. The cut stones outline the uncut ones and sharpen the shape of each panel. This mix gives you heritage detail with a clearer, brighter finish.

Artisans set uncut diamonds on a bed that may involve lace and delicate gold foil. The method is painstaking and is part of the wider jadau family of techniques, where stones are pressed into prepared settings by hand. Because most work is manual, finishing quality and stone security depend on the maker’s skill.

For Kanjeevaram sarees, choose rounded panels and pearls. For Banarasi, geometric frames and emerald drops stand out. With lehengas, match the metal colour to your zari and keep the stone colours close to the embroidery. A light second layer, like a chain or a slim haar, adds depth without taking focus away from the polki centre.

Look for the BIS hallmark on the gold, a detailed invoice that states metal purity, stone type (polki, cut diamond, or mix), total weight, and after-sales terms. Use the BIS Care app to verify HUID on gold parts. Ask about stringing, clasp strength, and servicing time. If pearls or beads are used, check that the thread and links are firm.

Brides want pieces that tell a story and photograph well. Polki brings heritage, texture, and warmth, which reads beautifully on camera and in person. The same set can be split later for festive looks, so the value continues beyond the wedding week.

Wipe gently with a soft cloth after wear. Keep sets in separate pouches so the foil and stones do not rub against other pieces. Avoid perfume and hairspray on the necklace. If cotton thread is used for stringing, have it checked and restrung as needed. Store in a dry box; humidity can dull the foil and beads over time.
