Why Every Bride Should Have a Jadau Kundan Necklace
To be honest, a bride's wedding day is not just a normal day. It is the day that gives years of dreams to every girl. The outfit, the makeup, the wedding ring - everything has to be of the best quality. And when it comes to jewellery, there’s one piece that never fails to steal hearts - a Jadau Kundan Necklace.
I’ve seen brides spending weeks choosing between gold, diamond, and polki. But honestly? Nothing beats the royal charm of Jadau Kundan. There’s something about its old-school glamour that feels just right for an Indian bride.
What Exactly Is a Jadau Kundan Necklace?
To be frank, most of us have seen it a hundred times but don’t really know what it means. “Jadau” isn’t a type of stone - it’s actually the technique. Artisans use gold to set uncut diamonds or precious stones (called “Kundan”) into a design - all by hand. No machines, no shortcuts. Just pure craftsmanship.
This jewellery style started during the Mughal period and became a symbol of royalty in Rajasthan - especially Jaipur. Even today, most of the finest Jadau Kundan Necklace pieces come from Jaipur’s narrow jewellery streets. If you’ve ever walked through Johari Bazaar, you’d know what I’m talking about.
Why Brides Fall in Love With It
Let’s be honest, a bride’s jewellery is more than just sparkle - it’s a part of her personality. And a Jadau Kundan Necklace has that rare ability to make you feel like royalty without even trying too hard.
Here’s why it’s a total must-have:
- Timeless Beauty: You’ll never look at your wedding pictures years later and think, “Oh, that looks outdated.” This one never goes out of style.
- Pure Craftsmanship: Every piece is handmade - which means no two necklaces are ever exactly alike.
- Versatile Look: Whether your lehenga is pastel, red, or golden, Jadau Kundan always fits in perfectly.
- A Family Heirloom: Let’s be honest, it’s something you’d love to pass on to your daughter one day.
- That Royal Touch: The way it shines under the lights… no diamond can match that glow.
A Necklace With a Soul
Jokes apart, this isn’t just about how it looks. There’s a certain emotion attached to a Jadau Kundan Necklace. When a bride wears it, she’s not just wearing jewellery - she’s wearing history. Each design has roots that go back centuries.
Imagine, the same art that once adorned queens and princesses - and now, it’s part of your wedding day. That thought alone gives it a kind of warmth no modern design can offer.
How to Style It Right
Now, let’s talk styling - because not every look does justice to this royal beauty.
- If your necklace is heavy, keep the earrings small. Let your neckpiece take the spotlight.
- Go for a blouse with a slightly deep neckline so that the design is visible.
- Avoid mixing modern sleek pieces with it. Keep it classic.
- Add a simple maang tikka or a passa if you want a full traditional look.
- Keep your makeup balanced - either focus on eyes or lips, not both.
To be frank, balance is everything. You want to look royal, not overloaded.
Why It’s Worth Every Penny
Let’s be real - a Jadau Kundan Necklace isn’t cheap. But here’s the thing: it’s not supposed to be. This is something you buy once, and it stays with you forever. Unlike most trendy pieces that come and go, Jadau never loses its charm.
And the best part? It looks just as beautiful years later. You can wear it again on anniversaries, festive occasions, or even pass it down as a blessing to the next generation.
In short, it’s not an expense - it’s an investment in memories.
Modern Brides, Old-School Charm
Today’s brides are confident, stylish, and love experimenting - but still want that hint of tradition. And a Jadau Kundan Necklace gives exactly that. You can wear it with modern pastels, minimal lehengas, or even Indo-western silhouettes.
To be frank, that’s what makes it magical - it adapts. Whether you’re having a grand palace wedding or a simple garden ceremony, it blends right in.

Taking Care of Your Necklace
Let’s be honest, after the wedding, most brides just wrap their jewellery in tissue paper and forget about it. Don’t do that with this one.
Here’s how to care for your Jadau Kundan Necklace:
- Always store it in a soft cloth pouch.
- Keep it away from perfumes or sprays.
- Don’t wear it while getting ready - makeup and hair products can damage it.
- Once a year, get it professionally cleaned.
- It’s a royal piece - treat it like one.
A Little Emotional Truth
You know what’s funny? Every bride I’ve spoken to says that out of all the jewellery they wore, the Jadau Kundan piece felt the most “them.” Maybe it’s the weight, or maybe it’s the history behind it. But when you wear it, you feel different.
It doesn’t just sit on your neck - it carries your moment, your smile, your entire story.
