Emerald Polki Choker Jaipur — Natural Zambian and Colombian Emeralds in 18K Gold by Taparia Jewels


The emerald Polki choker from Jaipur is India's most iconic bridal necklace. At Taparia Jewels, we craft each emerald Polki choker in Jaipur using natural Zambian and Colombian emeralds paired with raw uncut Polki diamonds in 18K BIS hallmarked gold. Our C-Scheme workshop has handcrafted these pieces since 1986. Therefore, every choker we make is a genuine heirloom built for your most important day.
In 2026, emerald and Polki combinations are the top bridal jewellery trend in India. Consequently, brides from Delhi, Mumbai, and across the world visit Jaipur specifically for this combination. We have crafted it for four decades — long before it became a trend. Furthermore, our direct manufacturer pricing means you receive the finest craftsmanship without retail markup.
What Makes an Emerald Polki Choker Special
The emerald Polki choker sits close to the collarbone. This placement frames the neckline with regal authority. Furthermore, the deep green of a natural emerald contrasts beautifully with the warm, organic glow of uncut Polki diamonds. No other jewellery combination creates this visual impact.
The choker format works with every bridal look. It pairs perfectly with a longer Rani Haar for layered grandeur. Additionally, it works alone as a bold statement piece. It complements heavy embroidery on bridal lehengas and sarees equally well. Therefore, brides consistently choose the emerald Polki choker as their centrepiece bridal jewel.
At Taparia Jewels, our master karigars have spent decades perfecting the balance of emerald weight, Polki placement, and gold framework. Consequently, the result is a choker that looks regal on the neck and feels comfortable through an entire wedding day. Moreover, each piece reflects the accumulated knowledge of four generations of craftsmen.
Types of Emeralds We Use — Zambian, Colombian, and Brazilian
Not all emeralds are equal. The origin of an emerald changes its colour, clarity, price, and character. Therefore, at Taparia Jewels, we work with three primary origins — Zambian, Colombian, and Brazilian emeralds. Each one offers a distinct look and value proposition.
Colombian Emeralds — The World's Most Prized
Colombian emeralds from the Muzo, Chivor, and Coscuez mines set the global standard for quality. Their deep saturation and vivid green hue command a 30 to 50 percent premium over emeralds from other origins. Furthermore, Colombia supplies approximately 60 to 80 percent of emeralds globally, making them the most recognised and historically prestigious choice.
Colombian emeralds carry a pure, electric green colour without blue or yellow tones. This pure green is what the jewellery world calls classic emerald green. Additionally, Colombian emeralds have adorned royal crowns and museum collections for centuries. In a Polki choker, a Colombian emerald centre stone creates a piece of unmatched prestige and timeless investment value.
Price range: Colombian emeralds start from INR 4,000 per carat. Exceptional stones command significantly higher prices depending on colour saturation and clarity.
Zambian Emeralds — Superior Clarity, Exceptional Value
Zambia is the second most significant producer of valuable emeralds after Colombia, accounting for around 20 percent of emeralds in the world market. Furthermore, Zambian emeralds carry a cooler, deeper green with a subtle blue undertone. This blue modifier comes from higher iron content in the Zambian earth.
Zambian emeralds tend to have fewer inclusions than Colombian stones, making them mechanically stronger and more durable. Consequently, they are particularly well suited for choker necklaces that experience daily movement and wear. Additionally, Zambian emeralds often deliver 30 to 50 percent better value than Colombian stones with a similar appearance. Therefore, for buyers who want a stunning natural emerald at a more accessible price, Zambian emeralds are the finest choice.
Price range: Zambian emeralds start from INR 2,500 per carat and go up to INR 40,000 per carat depending on quality, size, and saturation.
Brazilian Emeralds — Beautiful and Accessible
Brazilian emeralds range from lighter to rich greens depending on the specific mine and stone. Furthermore, they offer excellent value for buyers who want natural emeralds with beautiful characteristics at more accessible price points. At Taparia Jewels, we select only high-quality Brazilian stones with strong saturation and clean appearance for use in our choker necklaces.
Which Emerald Should You Choose?
Choose a Colombian emerald if you want the most prestigious origin, the purest electric green, and maximum investment value. Choose a Zambian emerald if you want exceptional clarity, a deep cool green, superior durability, and outstanding value for money. Choose a Brazilian emerald if you want a natural emerald with beautiful colour at a more accessible budget. At Taparia Jewels, we help every buyer select the right emerald for their vision, occasion, and investment goals. WhatsApp us at +91 9950966382 to discuss your preference before placing your order.
How We Craft Our Emerald Polki Choker in Jaipur
Our craftsmen begin every emerald Polki choker by hand-selecting natural emeralds from verified sources. They examine each stone individually for colour saturation, clarity, and cut quality. Furthermore, only stones that meet our strict standard enter the production process.
The setting technique we use is the traditional Jadau method — an ancient Rajasthani craft where craftsmen embed gemstones into pure gold foil cells at room temperature without soldering. This method lets natural light enter each stone from every angle. Consequently, it illuminates the emerald from within and gives Polki diamonds their characteristic warm, ancestral glow. Moreover, the Jadau technique creates a setting that is both secure and visually seamless.
The gold framework uses 18K BIS hallmarked gold throughout. Additionally, we design each choker with an articulated link structure so the necklace moves naturally with the body. Therefore, it sits flat against the collarbone without stiffness or discomfort — even through a full day of wedding ceremonies.
Furthermore, the reverse side of each choker carries hand-painted Meenakari enamel in vibrant floral motifs. This reverse enamel work is a Jaipur tradition unique to the finest workshops in C-Scheme. It transforms the back of the necklace into a second work of art — visible when the wearer moves and the choker shifts naturally.
Emerald Polki Choker Jaipur — Who Buys This Piece
Our emerald Polki choker attracts three distinct groups of buyers from across India and internationally.
First, Indian brides choose it as their statement bridal centrepiece. The choker anchors the entire bridal look and photographs beautifully under every lighting condition. Furthermore, it pairs effortlessly with every bridal lehenga colour and embroidery style — from ivory to deep red.

Additionally, many buyers choose our choker for receptions, sangeet ceremonies, and milestone celebrations. Therefore, it works beautifully beyond weddings for any occasion that demands a regal and confident presence.
Customise Your Emerald Polki Choker
At Taparia Jewels, we welcome custom orders for every buyer with a specific vision. First, choose your emerald origin — Colombian for the most prestigious electric green, Zambian for superior clarity and value, or Brazilian for a beautiful natural option at an accessible price.

Finally, choose your Meenakari enamel colour on the reverse — traditional red and green, or a custom palette of your choice.
