KUNDAN SILVER FOILED CHOKER AND NECKLACE

A Kundan silver foiled choker and necklace set is a beautiful combination of traditional Indian jewelry techniques with a focus on creating a stunning and often more accessible version of classic Kundan pieces

Setting Technique: The unique aspect of Kundan is the use of a layer of pure silver foil between the stones and their mount. This foil enhances the brilliance and reflection of the stones, giving the jewelry a rich and opulent look. The process is intricate and involves skilled craftsmanship.

Silver Foiling in Kundan

Appearance: The jewelry would still retain the characteristic rich and detailed look of Kundan work, with the sparkle of the stones enhanced by the silver foil. The silver framework can be beautifully crafted and might have a slightly different tone than gold, offering a unique aesthetic.

Traditional Daank: In authentic Kundan jewelry, a shiny metal foil called “daank” is often used beneath colorless stones like diamonds or white sapphires to maximize their brilliance by reflecting light back through them. Traditionally, this daank was also made of gold, but nowadays, silver foil is commonly used for colorless stones as it provides a similar reflective quality at a lower cost.
