Kundan Choker^Preview

Kundan is a setting technique, not a stone. Purified gold is beaten to foil and worked around each uncut stone until it holds by pressure alone. It is slow, it is unforgiving, and it produces a glow that a claw setting never will.

Nine polki stones across the front, lac-filled body, hand-strung on silk with a sliding adjuster.

Six weeks at the bench in Jaipur. Each piece is signed on the reverse by the karigar who set it.
