Because some traditions never go out of style
When it comes to Indian bridal jewellery, few things match the regal charm and raw beauty of Polki. Originating from the Mughal era, Polki jewellery is made using uncut natural diamonds, retaining their rustic brilliance and traditional appeal. At Bharatsons Jewellers, we believe Polki isn’t just a style statement—it’s an heirloom in the making.
This guide walks you through everything you need to know about bridal Polki jewellery, from understanding what it is, to choosing the perfect pieces for your big day.
1.What is Polki Jewellery?
Polki is crafted using uncut, untreated natural diamonds, set in intricate gold frames using the traditional ‘kundan’ technique. The stones retain their raw form, giving Polki a natural sparkle and an antique elegance that’s unlike any other diamond jewellery.
Unlike refined diamonds, Polki has a softer, deeper glow, making it perfect for brides looking for a royal yet rooted aesthetic.
2. Polki vs. Kundan: Know the Difference
Many brides confuse Polki with Kundan, but they’re quite different:
- Polki uses real, uncut diamonds
- Kundan uses glass stones or faux gems with a gold foil base
While both are traditional and equally beautiful, Polki is more valuable and generally heavier, making it ideal for bridal wear and family heirlooms.
If you’re looking for jewellery with real diamonds and long-term investment value, Polki is the clear winner.
3. Types of Polki Jewellery Every Bride Should Consider
Bridal Polki is more than just a necklace. It’s a complete ensemble, with each piece enhancing your overall look. Here’s what to consider:
- Polki Necklace Sets: Choose from chokers, collar-style, or layered rani haars based on your neckline and outfit
- Polki Maang Tikka & Mathapatti: Adds instant royalty to your bridal hairstyle
- Polki Earrings: Jhumkas or chandbalis that match your necklace
- Polki Nath (Nose Ring): A statement piece for your bridal entry
- Polki Bangles & Kada: Elegant, bold, and rooted in tradition
- Polki Rings: Oversized cocktail rings or traditional haathphool designs
At Bharatsons, we also offer custom bridal sets so every piece matches in harmony while retaining its own distinct charm.
4. How to Style Polki with Your Wedding Outfit
Polki jewellery pairs beautifully with lehenga, saree, sharara, or even fusion bridal wear. The key is to balance detail and volume.
- For a heavy embroidered lehenga, opt for a choker plus small earrings
- With simpler outfits, go for layered necklaces and statement maang tikka
- Don’t be afraid to mix Polki with pearls or emeralds for a pop of colour and added richness
Our expert stylists at Bharatsons help you try different combinations based on your outfit, neckline, and face structure.
