Polki jewellery and reasons for its popularity


India is home to many forms of jewelry making techniques. A few popular types of jewelry techniques which were popularized by Indian jewelers are, Kundan jewelry, Polki jewelry, Temple jewelry, lac jewelry and many more. Polki jewellery is a type of jewelry that originated in India many centuries ago. Right from the time jewelers created this form of jewelry, it has enjoyed a tremendous fan following. Polki is a term that is used to refer to the ‘uncut diamond’ which was an integral part of this jewelry technique. When this form of jewelry was first conceptualized by the jewelers, they used the uncut diamond as the central piece around which other smaller stones were embedded. However, with the passage of time, jewelers began to use many other precious gem stones as the central piece.

There are many reasons for the popularity that Polki jewellery enjoys today. The main reason for the popularity of these jewelry items is their appeal. The beauty of Polki jewelry items is hard to overlook. This form of jewelry is used to craft various items such as necklace, earrings, nose rings, finger rings, toe rings and many more. The brilliance of the stones used to create these jewelry items adds to its magnificence and makes it ideal for many special occasions and celebrations.

Polki jewellery is also popular among women from all parts of the world is because of their affordability. In order to make this form of jewelry more accessible to the common man, jewelers have begun replacing precious metals and gemstones with oxidized metals and semi-precious stones. The fact that most of the celebrities on television and movies wear these jewelry items has also played a major role in popularizing it. Polki jewellery items are not as elaborate as the ones made using the Kundan technique, but they are equally beautiful and visually appealing.
