Royal Polki Bridal Jewellery – A Legacy You Wear

Polki jewellery is one of India's oldest jewellery traditions, featuring natural, uncut diamonds in their raw form. Unlike modern diamonds, Polki stones are not polished or faceted, giving them a soft, antique glow. It is a favorite for brides because it offers a "Royal Heritage" look that complements traditional Indian wedding attire like Lehengas and Kanjivaram sarees.

While often used interchangeably, they are different:

• Polki: Uses natural, uncut diamonds set in gold. It has high value and a rustic brilliance.
• Kundan: Uses glass stones (glass Polki) set in gold foil. It is more affordable and focuses on intricate design.
• Jadau: This is actually the technique used to create the jewellery, where stones are embedded into high-quality gold. Krishna Jewellers specializes in the authentic Jadau technique for all our Polki sets.

Yes. Because authentic Polki jewellery uses real diamonds and a high weight of 22K or 24K gold, it retains significant value. Unlike synthetic alternatives, Polki is considered a heritage heirloom that can be passed down through generations and carries a high resale value due to its precious metal and stone content.

Polki jewellery is delicate because it uses natural resin and gold foils.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry lint-free cloth to wipe the stones.
• Avoid: Never use liquid cleaners, perfumes, or ultrasonic cleaners, as moisture can seep behind the stones and cause them to lose their lustre.
• Storage: Store each piece in a separate fabric-lined box to prevent scratches.

Absolutely. We offer a "Personal Styling" journey where you can meet our specialists in person at our Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad store or via Video Call. We can curate a palette based on your trousseau colors, family traditions, and budget to create a one-of-a-kind bridal look.

Deep Necklines: Layer a Polki Choker with a Long Haar (necklace) for a grand, layered look.

High Necklines: A statement Polki Choker or a "Guttapusalu" style necklace works best.

Earrings: If your necklace is heavy, pair it with our signature Polki Chandbalis or Studs to balance the look.

Yes, every piece in our bridal collection comes with a hallmark certificate and a detailed weight breakdown of gold and diamonds. We ensure that our brides receive only the highest quality, authentic Jadau-set Polki.

The cost of a Polki set is determined by three main factors: the carat weight of the uncut diamonds, the purity and weight of the gold (usually 22K), and the intricacy of the Jadau workmanship. Since Polki diamonds are natural and vary in size and clarity, no two sets are priced exactly the same. At Krishna Jewellers, we provide a transparent breakup of these costs so you know exactly what you are investing in.

While Polki jewellery has a grand, "heavy" look, modern craftsmanship allows for better weight distribution. We design our bridal necklaces with adjustable threads (dori) and ergonomic structures that sit comfortably on the collarbone. If you are concerned about weight, we recommend our "Victorian Polki" or "Open Setting" designs, which offer high visual impact with less metal bulk.

One of the best things about Polki is its versatility. A heavy bridal choker can be worn solo at a high-end gala, and Polki Maang Tikkas or Chandbalis can be paired with simpler silk sarees for festive occasions. We also offer modular Polki sets where pendants or layers can be detached, allowing you to scale the look down for smaller family events.

Yes, we cater to brides globally. We provide secure, insured international shipping to the USA, UK, UAE, Australia, and more. For our international clients, we recommend booking a Video Call Consultation to view the pieces in real-time under different lighting before the final purchase and dispatch.

Victorian Polki combines traditional Indian uncut diamonds with 19th-century European aesthetics. It often features oxidized silver or blackened gold finishes, creating a high-contrast look that makes the diamonds pop. This style is incredibly popular with modern brides who want a "regal-meets-edgy" vibe that differs from the bright yellow gold of traditional Jadau.
