{"title":"Kundan Earrings","description":"\u003cp\u003eKundan is one of the oldest jewellery techniques in India: a stone held by a thin band of foil worked around its edge, rather than by claws or adhesive. It is the work that turns up in the pieces families keep and hand down, which is why it still reads as heirloom even in a small pair of earrings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe set kundan into fabric rather than metal.

The technique was refined at the Mughal court, and the principle has not changed since: pure gold is soft enough at room temperature to be worked with hand pressure alone, so a craftsman presses band after band of foil into the gap around a stone until it is locked in place. No heat, no solder, no adhesive. It survived because it works, and it still looks like nothing else because a foil-set stone sits in a bed of reflective metal rather than being gripped from above by claws. We went further into the craft and how to wear it in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.houseoffalguni.com\/blogs\/news\/kundan-earrings-craft-meaning-how-to-wear\"\u003ekundan earrings: the craft, the meaning and how to wear them\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is kundan?\u003c\/strong\u003e A traditional Indian setting technique where a stone is held in place by foil pressed around it by hand. No claws, no glue. It predates most modern setting methods, was refined under the Mughals, and is still done by hand because there is no machine equivalent for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this fine jewellery?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, and it is not priced as such. These are kundan-style settings worked into fabric by hand. Exact materials for each pair are listed under Product Details. If you want to know how to judge handmade jewellery generally, we wrote a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.houseoffalguni.com\/blogs\/news\/handmade-jewellery-online-india-buyers-guide\"\u003ebuyer's guide to craft, quality and price\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy set kundan into fabric instead of metal?\u003c\/strong\u003e Weight, mostly. A metal body large enough to carry these settings would pull on the ear across a long evening, which is why traditional kundan pieces tend to be worn for a few hours and then taken off. Fabric gives the same visual weight at a fraction of the actual weight, so the piece moves from occasion wear into ordinary wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich pair works for everyday wear?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Kundan Fabric Earrings. They are the quietest of the three and sit comfortably with a cotton kurta or a plain shirt. Pair them with something from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.houseoffalguni.com\/collections\/kurtis\"\u003ethe kurtis\u003c\/a\u003e and the outfit is done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich for a wedding or a festive occasion?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Chandbali first, then the Floral Kundan. Both use traditional festive shapes and hold their own against heavier ethnic wear, where a smaller pair would simply disappear.

Each pair is checked before dispatch.
