What is it about jewels after being married?You lust after them like a fat kid after candy ! So this months lust list is full of prints, on clothes and decor as well a generous dose of bling bling – both in jewel and makeup form. Here goes:
1.Chunky Turquoise and Gold Necklace: No idea where that piece is from but i saw this on Pinterest and fell in love! I want to wear a nude dress, or maybe a pale, blush colored one with this on top
2. Dior Diva Diorific n Nail polish: Dior 2012 Grand Bal Holiday Collection is full of suprises ! Not only does it have these stodgy little Polish bottles but also contains some rather unique colors like this black polish with gold sparkles! Okay don’t kill me for saying this, but doing these bottles look like cute sardar babies with gold headgear? I wantttt this “Diva Diorific’ Polish! Its like holidays with an edge!
3.Mathhew Williamson Printed Dress: Need. Want. Love. Im going to go and find a cheaper dupe for a dress like this! I love how its like a burst of colors like a bouquet of carnations just exploded or something! I adore the little jewelled belt and the cute flare at the bottom!
4.Amrapali Polki Jadau Jewellery; I dont care whether i will look like a bride myself wearing this, but i want it for SOME close wedding or the other ! Dont care much for the earrings, but the set is so Jodha Akbar. I think what is also a bit different here is that its not gold, and i never thought i would like this in silver but its different !
5. Printed Dining Seats: Im in love with floral printed decor, and have you noticed that you get NONE of it in India? Iv been searching everywhere and only recently on a road trip to ludhiana i found a floral printedd mirror frame that im in LOVE with it. If only i had these gorgeous sky blue chairs !!! Ahhh.

1. I would totally wear that with a white dress, and peachy-gold makeup.
2. I seem to remember these bottle designs being used in their holiday coffrets. Very cute, but slightly impractical. That colour is really nice, though.
3. Have you considered getting something like this tailored? I have something very similar in a pink-green ombré chiffon, and it was dead easy to tailor.
4. Whoa, baby! That is some necklace. The pearly bit at the back is really nice. What’s the difference between polki and kundan and jadau?
5. If you manage to get The Boy to agree to those chairs, you owe it to us all to write a Husband Wrangling Manual. Those chairs are super pretty but my inner Malayalee cheapskate would never permit me to remove the plastic wrap from their cushions.
polki is uncut diamonds and kundan is a semi-precious stone usually set in lac-resin. That is why polki is much more expensive than kundan.
As far as I know, “jadau” is basically a technique of “setting-in” the stones etc. in a metal like gold/silver. That is my guess.
Yeahh…actually kundan used to be a form of making jewellery- and people used to say kundan sheesha or kundan polki. The former referred to glass and other semi precious stones set in lac and gold, and te latter referred to uncut diamond set in lac and gold…but over the years, the colloquial term has become kundan for the former and polki for the latter.
Jadau is a form of ‘studding’gemstones. It comes from rajasthan where thin foils of gold are taken and stones are studded in between them..
Thanks, Shruti and Mehak for the explanation. That set is super-gorgeous, especially the tassel-y bit at the back.
just ordered the most stunning earrings from amrapali! they are kundan and pearls in a very traditional design. Gotta <3 amrapali.
Luck girl, do share pics, I would love to see.

Polki is a kind of Kundan jewellery that 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 some that the uncut diamonds reflect more light and sparkle.
While uncut diamonds are larger and cost less than polished fare, not everyone stocks them due to their low resale value.
Kundan work is a method of gem setting, consisting of inserting gold foil between the stones and its mount.
Jadau jewellery is also called engraved jewelry and is unique and a kind in itself. Uncut diamonds called polki or vilandi are used as the central stone . Meenakari or art work done at the back of the jewel is purely for beautifying purposes.
