An exquisite representation of Mughal tradition, Polki jewelry elevates diamonds in their natural form. Preserving their original raw shape with minimal facetting, the result is a triangular shaped diamond that resembles a rose-cut. The stones are traditionally bezel-set without prongs and are backed with a gleaming foil. The bright foil mirrors the light back through the stone, adding to its brilliance and creating an alluring antique glow.  Blending rich Indian culture with the timeless beauty of natural diamonds, Polki jewelry was once reserved for Mughul nobility. Today the style is quintessential in Indian bridal fashion, made possible with the advent of glass and synthetic versions (Kundan). These incredibly fine earrings are an uncommon, genuine example made at the turn of the 20th century for European markets. They feature over three carats of diamonds impeccably set within a radiant scalloped frame and bordered with delicate granulation, beautifully reflecting the diamonds' subtle pavilion faceting. A spectacular example of rich heritage and the glamour of natural, raw diamonds, these earrings remain worthy of brides and royalty alike!
