Did you know the following ?

MEENAKARI JEWELLERY
Meenakari is enamel work which is very famous in Rajasthan. The piece of metal , on which the work is to be done, is fixed on a lac (type of resin stick). Designs of flowers, birds, fish etc are engraved on it. This leads to the creation of walls , or grooves, to hold colour. Enamel dust, of required colour is then poured into the grooves and each colour is fired individually. The heat of the furnace melts the colour and the coloured liquid gets spread equally into the groove. This process is repeated with each colour.

KUNDAN JEWELLERY
It is created by setting carefully shaped, cut and polished multicolored gemstones into an exquisitely designed pure gold or faux metal base. The method is believed to have originated in the royal courts of Rajasthan and Gujarat. It is the oldest form of jewellery made and worn in India. Meena Kundan is a popular variation wherein enamelling with vivid colours and designs is done on the reverse of Kundan stones.

POLKI
Polki is a kind of Kundan jewellery, which uses uncut diamonds and precious and semi precious stones. These stones have an open setting and are not covered with gold at the back. This is done so that the uncut diamonds reflect more light and sparkle.

JHOOMAR
It is a fan shaped hair ornament worn on the left side of the head. It is a very popular accessory for Indian brides . It is made of gold, silver, pearl or kundan.

CHABBI KA GUCCHA
It is an ornate key chain

TEMPLE JEWELLERY
The jewellery used in Bharatanatyam dance and in Kuchipudi dance is commonly known as Temple Jewellery. Temple jewellery is made of real silver and plated with gold. Less expensive, imitation temple jewellery is also available. Instead of silver, copper is used in this type of jewellery.

Customers who desire to purchase jewellery are happy with the concise glossary. One customer writes-“ thanks to ShopKhoj, we knew the difference between kundan and polki jewellery.
