Exploring the Royal Heritage of Kundan Jewelry
Kundan jewelry has a long and rich history, dating back centuries to the royal courts of India. This exquisite form of jewelry is known for its intricate designs and use of precious gemstones, making it a symbol of luxury and opulence. At Be Sunset, we are proud to incorporate elements of this royal heritage into our handcrafted jewelry collection, creating unique pieces that are both sustainable and stunning.
Originating in the royal courts of Rajasthan and Gujarat, Kundan jewelry is a traditional form of Indian jewelry that is characterized by its elaborate gemstone settings. The word "Kundan" refers to the process of setting gemstones in a pure gold mount, creating a setting that allows maximum light to pass through the stones, resulting in a brilliant and luminous effect.
The art of Kundan jewelry making requires highly skilled artisans who meticulously set each gemstone by hand. The process involves creating small holes in the gold base, known as a "kundan," and inserting the gemstones into these holes. The gemstones are then secured in place by shaping thin strips of gold, known as "chatons," around them. This intricate and time-consuming process is what gives Kundan jewelry its unique and breathtaking beauty.
At Be Sunset, we take great pride in our commitment to sustainability and ethical practices. Our Kundan jewelry collection is handcrafted using white bronze with 18k gold plating, ensuring that every piece is not only beautiful but also environmentally conscious.
