Kundan, Meena and Jadau Jewellery — Jaipur’s Most Precious Traditional Craft
Kundan Meena Jadau jewellery represents the absolute pinnacle of Indian traditional gold jewellery. Furthermore, Taparia Jewels, C-Scheme Jaipur, has been crafting these masterpieces since 1986. In this guide, we explain each craft, what makes it unique, and how to choose the right piece.
What is Kundan Jewellery?
Kundan is a traditional Indian jewellery technique where craftsmen set precious and semi-precious stones directly into a framework of pure 24K refined gold. The word Kundan itself means pure gold in Sanskrit. Thin sheets of gold pressed around the stones—including rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and diamonds—hold them securely in place without any prongs or claws.
Consequently, this process creates extraordinary beauty where stones appear to float seamlessly in gold. Kundan necklaces, earrings, chokers, and bridal sets remain among the most prized possessions in Indian jewellery culture.
What is Meenakari Work?
Meenakari is the intricate art of enamel work. Artisans apply vibrant coloured enamel directly to the reverse side of Kundan jewellery. While the front face shows the gemstones set in gold, the back displays detailed patterns in red, green, blue, and white enamel. Specifically, this execution makes each piece exceptionally beautiful from both sides.
Taparia Jewels creates authentic Kundan Meena Jadau jewellery where the Meenakari work matches the refinement of the Kundan front. This standard remains the mark of true master craftsmanship.
What is Jadau Jewellery?
Jadau is an ancient technique where craftsmen fuse gemstones permanently into gold using heat. The process completely eliminates prongs, bezels, or claws because the stone literally becomes part of the gold itself. Therefore, this remains the most technically demanding form of jewellery making.
Jadau gold jewellery in Jaipur carries particular prestige because history reserved this technique strictly for Maharajas and royalty. At Taparia Jewels, our Jadau craftsmen are among the few remaining specialists who have mastered this skill through decades of practice.
