Kundan Jhumka Earrings

Kundan holds its stones in a bed of gold-coloured metal rather than in claws, so the setting itself becomes part of the design. On these jhumkas that means a fully paved top - round, oval, teardrop, lotus, chakra or sunburst - above a domed jhumki closed with a pearl fringe.

The seed-pearl border on most of them is the detail that keeps the gold from reading flat. The lightest pair is 27 grams; the largest is meant to be the only jewellery you wear above the neck.

Questions about Kundan Jhumka Earrings

What is the difference between Kundan and Polki?

Both set stones into gold-coloured metal. Polki uses uncut natural diamond; Kundan uses glass or crystal cut to the same shape. On imitation jewellery the technique is Kundan. There is a full comparison in <a href="/blogs/kundan-vs-polki">Kundan vs Polki</a>.

Are jhumkas heavy on the ears?

These are built hollow rather than solid, and the open-spoke designs are lighter again at the same visible size. A plastic disc back behind the earlobe takes the remaining weight off for a long function.

Are the pearls real?

Shell and resin pearls, matched for size and lustre. Real pearls at this scale would multiply the price several times over and would not survive being packed and travelled with the way an occasion earring is.

Will these irritate sensitive ears?

The gold plating is what sits against your skin rather than the metal underneath. If your ears are sensitive, wear a new pair for a short first outing before a full-day function.
